Friday Favorites

Happy Friday friends! Today I am linking up with Andrea at Momfessionals for another Friday Favorites.

They are my favorite couple.

I love seeing the way they look at each other.

Look at this moon over the White River!

This picture doesn't do it justice but it was one of my favorite sights this week.

We could see it peeking through the trees when we got home.

I have gradually been getting my fall decorations out of storage. Fall and Halloween decorations are my favorite!

I spy with my little eye...a red leaf 🍁

And red will always be my favorite color.

This week marked our annual Gospel Project kick-off at church. I didn't snap any pictures from our night of fun because I wasn't feeling the best (don't worry it was only allergies) and left a little early. We have done other programs for our Wednesday night kids group but The Gospel Project is my favorite by far! Next week is our first week actual classes and I can't wait to teach my preschoolers about Jesus.

The tiny dinosaurs are my favorite animals on the homestead.

I know it's a three day weekend for most but not around here. If the weather cooperates, Carl will be starting rice harvest on Monday, Makena will have school (her college has no holiday before Thanksgiving due to Covid), Trey and I are doing school, and Carlie is on-call. As a result of this, we plan on living it up this weekend and having some quality family time!

Have a great weekend.

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...
