We are about to start a very busy season here on the homestead. I was looking at my planner and it's like all of the summer things are happening in July! I like being busy but just looking at the schedule is giving me anxiety. 
And that's where my the first of my Friday Favorites. One of my favorite Bible verses.
I am trusting in the Lord to give me the strength I need to do all the things.

A year ago lots of things were different. For a good while it seemed as if things were falling apart in my life. 
My sweet Makena Faith was about to undergo her second back surgery in four months. We both wondered what normal would look like after another recovery. Thankfully, that second surgery was a success and she has had no problems. The pictures below still scare me but she is confident in her abilities and I just watch and pray. She won't dare go off the diving board and is a little bummed about no roller coasters, but seeing her being able to flip and so handstands in the pool is a summer favorite!


Fishing is always a favorite, especially to a country kid!
And he is my favorite country boy!

She drives me nuts sometimes but I am thankful that I have her around. Good times at the pool with my mom are my favorite.

Some of my favorite summer days are depicted in this picture: sitting on my front porch.


That's all for this week's Friday Favorites.  I can't wait to see some of yours!

Much Love,

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...
