The Crossroads

It's funny how things turn out isn't it? Every single decision we make leads us to where we are this day at this very moment.  Some choices are easy peasy:  What to eat, wear, what to do this day....not too difficult.  Some aren't quite so easy: career choices or moves, crucial financial decisions....those are a little tougher.  Nevertheless, all are choices.
And now we come to the crossroads, that proverbial fork in the road.  You know the one where you can either stay in the mundane yet comfortable and predictable or the one that leads to the new and unknown.
I woke up this morning with the word crossroad in my head. Seriously, I could NOT get it out.  Not in the argument I was having with Carl, not in Sunday School, not in church...and it's still there.  I've prayed for the Lord to show me what in the world it's supposed to mean.  I've read scripture, googled crossroads, songs about crossroads, EVERYTHING you can think of to figure this out.
I can't help but think that God gave me this word this morning to kind of step back and take inventory of my life.  It's a time to look the things that I say are important: money, time, gifts, talents, relationships, and to see all of the things that God has given me for the battle ahead.
I have no  real insight as to why this word has been so heavy on my mind today.  Life is hard, y'all. Decisions are hard, especially when they involve the well being of your whole family.
I love the same, mundane, and comfortable.  I hate change.  I am one of the most pig-headed people you will ever meet when it comes to change...."if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is pretty much my mantra.  God knows this and He know what will make me change and go down that unknown, uncomfortable road. He knows that in order to make me "move" He has to make things so uncomfortable for me that I feel I have no other way.  I know this, yet here I am wondering what to do and how in the world do we even begin down this new, unknown road. I know one thing for sure, we are at the crossroads and there is no time to be indecisive.






Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
