Senior Sunday

Whew, I made it through my first "hand-me-a-hankie" event of this graduation season.  I am happy to say that it wasn't so bad. My anxiety leading up to Senior Sunday was a little off the charts. Well, a lot off the charts!  Here are few of the pictures from our fun day!!

Our pastor, Bro Adam with Dezirae and Carlie.

The cake. It was honestly the most delicious cake I have ever eaten.

Andrea and My dad singing "Go Light Your World" for the graduates 

Sisters!
If you haven't noticed yet, we had a Mexican theme for Cinco de Mayo!
Taco Bout A Grad!!
We had tacos and nachos with all the fixins.

Carlie at her table.
The hubs brought these pallets from work.
It was kind of a last minute thought, but I think it turned out nicely. 

A better look at the table.

Brent and his parents came.
They are such sweet peolle.
His mom, Mary, is the main reason I have mist of the pictures.

It was such a blessed day to be able to spend time with those who love our Carlie. She felt all the love and I know she is thankful for the support her family and church family have given her over the last 18 years. My prayer as her mother is that she will always keep God first in her life; always follow His lead. There is no better place to be than in the center of His will. She has been taught right from wrong. Now it's up to her.  No, I'm not kicking her out or anything like that! She will just be spending less time in my presence and will have more time to make her own choices. We are so proud of you Carlie! You are smart, beautiful, and sweet. 
 Spread those wings baby girl! But never forget where you came from or to whom you belong.

Much Love, 
Beth

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
