Friday Favorites

What time is it? IT'S LINK UP TIME!! I'm linking up again today with Andrea at Momfessionals for another Friday Favorites.

This has been one of the most laid back weeks we have had in a while.

Carl has been extremely busy with rice harvest.

While harvest may not be my most favorite time on the farm, this picture is my favorite so far. Carl got behind Caleb at the mill and they are both wearing the same shirt. I found that absolutely hilarious.

A few of the farm trucks got new stickers. I think they look great!

Carlie has worked her booty off all week and finally gets a three day weekend!

Makena Faith is still learning how to balance studying and having fun at college and is set to take her first exams of the semester next week (feel free to say a prayer).

This leads to another favorite of the week:

Here is Makena with her human foosball team! When she told me she joined an intramural sports team, I never dreamed this world be it! She loves it and tells me every week how much fun it is. She has also joined the MBSF (Missionary Baptist Student Fellowship) and is looking into sororities. I am so proud of my little introvert!

Remember how I told you that our friend Bonnie had her sweet baby boy? Well, I've gotten to love on him twice now.

The innocence and sweetness are overwhelmingly perfect.

Mr. Ryker had some issues with jaundice during his first week, which is why they stopped him by my house (on the way home from the hospital). It was my favorite surprise of the week!

This kid is always doing something.

He started back to piano lessons this week. He could literally spend hours in his room playing the guitar; is always cracking jokes, and is now learning to smoke meat just like his dad! Carl is one of the best, and Trey aspires to cook just like him (well maybe better, because he is a male and they are competitive creatures). Today he chose wings, and while his bark was a little too dark for my taste (think ash), the actual meat was pretty great! The fact that he looks up to his dad is another favorite this week.

I'm slowly posting some of my favorites from Carlie and Caleb's engagement photos. This one is lovely, don't you think?!

Speaking of the wedding, we still have a ton of things to do. I have forgotten how much time goes into planning a wedding. I am thrilled to be able to help them and we are looking forward to February 20, 2021❤❤

Ranger rides are still a favorite.

Sometimes I drive, and sometimes I'm brave enough to let Trey drive. Either way, we always have a good time. I am secretly waiting for a quick afternoon rain or a break between harvests so Carl and I can relax on our own.

Those are a few of my favorite things (this week)

Happy Friday! Hope you all have an amazing 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...
