Regrouping



Happy Tuesday friends! Hope you are all having a great start to your week. Things are rolling right along here on the homestead.

 We are currently in the 12th week of our homeschooling year. Trey is doing well, other than the fact that school is still still not his favorite thing. He would just rather be hunting, fishing, or riding 4wheelers. He has finally agreed to cut the mullet off (not that he really had a choice, but I let him think he did.)! So tomorrow is the day and I am super excited to see the clean version of Trey. After the wedding he says he is growing it all out...not just the back. I'm hoping he loves the new look so much that he changes his mind.

Helping out with our Gospel Project

He thought he was cute with this ponytail, I did not! I do enjoy the time I get to spend with him doing the things he likes to do, like checking game cameras.

He is good with little kids but he will tell you he doesn't like them. Tough guy syndrome!

Makena Faith is wrapping up her first semester at Ouachita Baptist. This has been a major adjustment for her. She is ready for a break for sure! Only two more weeks and she will be home for a month. Last weekend we went shopping for a little black dress. This week is rush week and Saturday is bid day. 

Confidence looks great on her!

She decorated her car in a Christmas theme for Trunk or Treat and of course, promoted helping with Operation Christmas Child by recruiting Noah to dress as the box!

Now that I've had the time to adjust and *accept* the things that obviously aren't going to change, I am in regrouping mode. Trying my best to help out where I can. Carlie has always had a mind of her own, and that is something that has always made me proud. I am still proud of her. She will celebrate her 20th birthday on Thursday. That just happens to also be the day that she closes on her house. I still say this is all happening too fast but she is happy. What more can a parent ask for?  My version of perfection is not "the end all, be all". I said I am "regrouping", meaning I am a working on it. 

Love this!


Carlie and Caleb did circus games for Trunk or Treat. 

Carl and the guys finished harvest on Saturday. What a relief it is for that to be over. I feel like I was at my breaking point with everything going on all at once. I think when this wedding is over momma and daddy need a little getaway!

Much Love,

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?"....
