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.

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.

Carlie with the Simpson kiddos.

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

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
