Weekend Rewind

 Hey guys! Guess what this week is? 

It's wedding week! All of the fun festivities started on Friday night, with the wedding shower at our church. 








She had such a good shower. We had the back of her jeep, my acadia, and Caleb's truck full of stuff. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is absolutely no family like church family. 

Saturday was the opening day of modern gun season. If you come from a hunting family, you'll know that this is pretty much a holiday. Carl and Trey went hunting at the farm, Carlie and Caleb went to his deer camp, and me and my home girl Makena stayed in bed until 9! Nobody got a deer that morning.  Carl spent half of the afternoon building the arch for the wedding.

It is very similar to this.

He got a good start but *hunting was calling* so they went back to the woods. Carlie and Makena went to Little Rock for Carlie's bachelorette party with her friends. 





They had a lot of fun! 

T-Man got a deer. Carl would have rather him not have shot a doe yet but he was hunting on his own this year. He said he had watched them for a long time and he couldn't stand it any longer!
He was pumped!

While they were hunting and partying, I was at home doing nothing. I had the worst headache all day. The pain in the back of my head and neck made it difficult to do much. I couldn't even sleep. So I binge watched Netflix. I finished The Tiger King and Outer Banks. When the boys got back we rode to town and got Chinese. 

I was so happy that I woke up feeling better on Sunday. We packed Operation Christmas Child boxes Sunday afternoon. Makena had to go back to school. She has 7 school days left on campus! 

I am thankful for this beautiful weekend. 
I know it will be a busy week full of wedding "stuff". 
Say a little prayer for us❤

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?"....
