Listen Up!

 We had such a good time going to see Makena in her steel drum concert at OBU on Wednesday night.  She did great (although I think she was a tad bit nervous)! She and her roommate, Jenna were on the front row playing the melody.  Jenna loves music and playing music just like Makena does. This was their chance to have a little fun at the end of the semester when things are not so fun. Finals are coming up next week and Makena has told me she feels like she is running on fumes. I am praying for all of the students who are studying their tales off over the next week! May you all remember everything you've studied this semester 💓 

Here are a few pictures that I got with my big camera.  My phone pictures suck and I just refuse to get another one until this one completely dies. Oh, and yes, Trey was with us but avoided my pictures 😕

Some had already left before they decided to get a picture. 

How amazing is this sky?!

After we got back home from Arkadelphia on Thursday, I went to a Christmas party with our Ladies Bible Study group.  It was a nice time of fellowship and our pastor's wife gave a very timely devotional.   I thought the devotional was great when she gave it but then this morning when I was getting ready for church the preacher on the podcast I was listening to preached on the same thing:   God doesn't give us all the pieces at once because we couldn't handle it all at once.  Now our pastor's wife was specifically speaking about Mary the mother of Jesus and even us today. The pastor this morning was generally speaking on the same thing but more specifically the birth of Jesus and all of those surrounding the story (the message was titled "Kept in the Dark"). 
Now I am a firm believer that when something is given so plainly to me more than once in a short period of time, God is telling me to listen up! Sometimes speaks in a still, small voice, and sometimes He is right in your face so you are sure to get what He has to say.  If we listen and pay attention, He will always speak to us. I am so thankful for that.  

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

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!...
