BOO!

Happy Halloween!
Our Halloween was a cold one but thankfully not a wet one. Our church held its annual trunk or treat but before all of that we had a full morning of grocery shopping and school! We had a few tests to take and made it a little more spooky we listened to our favorite Halloween playlist on Spotify via our friend Alexa. 
After we finished that task the kids helped me stuff my candy bags. 
Trey kept telling me that I was being chinch with my bags. I told him he was over filling his. We compromised. 
Carlie came home in time for trunk or treat but opted not to decorate her car. Makena didn't dress up but did decorate her trunk and give out her own candy. At the last minute I decided that Carl and I would go as a deer hunter and deer.  Makena did my make-up and hair (and she did a great job). Trey wasn't really interested in dressing up this year either. He said he just came for the chili. 
I started getting sick Tuesday evening with a terrible headache and sore throat. I was also dealing with a cough and major congestion so Carl and Trey set up one of their pop-up blinds for my trunk (I am currently without a car) . Well, I felt so bad and it was so cold that the deer ended up in the blind (with the Buddy heater), handing out candy. It worked. I did my duty, then I went home, showered, and went to bed. I was dunzo.

She had lights on her car and her sign read, "if the stars were made to worship, so will I". It looked so good in the dark...of course I didn't get any pictures of that because I was feeling like poo and my phone died.

A Halloween throw back.

I was sick until Monday. It was rough stuff. Trey had a touch of it but thankfully no one else got it. Carl was off all weekend (thanks to the rain) so he was able to take Trey on the youth hunt. Trey missed a doe but they got lots of bonding time!

                                                             
I have no new pictures of Carlie but this is what I get when I ask her what she is doing when she's in LR:
 Really, Carls... 
She is still a busy little bee. Usually when I call her after clinicals she is super excited...except when she has to wear a lead vest for 6 hours. I love to hear the excitement in her voice when she says, "I was elbow deep in a man's stomach!". I'm so proud of her. 
We are so close to the end of harvest we can almost taste it. If the rain holds off it could be over by Wednesday. I know it will be a huge relief to everyone. 
That was pretty much our Halloween week/weekend. Mostly sickly with a little bit of fun. 

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?"....
