Back to School (kind of)

Hey friends!  We have had a very crazy first week of school here.  Makena started her first week of school at home in isolation.  She tested positive for Covid on Sunday (but had been having very mild symptoms since Thursday).  We honestly just thought it was just allergies.  No fever, no terrible cough.  On Monday she went and had an antibody infusion.  Other than her veins rolling and having to be poked three times to get the I V in, she did very well.  So well that she was feeling almost completely well on Tuesday.  Her main complaint was headache, runny nose, and tiredness.  
It was a very stressful start to the school year! She did some classes via Zoom and had all of her syllabi here so she was able to do her assignments and turn them in (thank-you, technology!).

On Friday we has a mini photoshoot.







And then there were these:
How's this for a pose?!

Take my picture.

He gone!

Trey was done after about 10 minutes but Makena was jus thrilled to be out of the house! We stayed out until the mosquitoes got too bad.  Needless to say, I got a ton of pictures.  It still feels weird to me to only have two of my kids in photos, like I'm leaving poor Carlie out.  
Whew, what a week.  We are thankful that Makena is feeling better and that she will be able to move into her dorm on Sunday!  We are praying that everyone else stays well.  

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation. Be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12

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!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...

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...
