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 😕






Most of the beginning steel drum band and Tiger Steel group
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

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

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

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 ...
