What's Happening Now

 


We have been wrapped up in all kinds of life stuff around here, and I haven't had a chance to blog as much as I was hoping.  However, today is a new day.  

Don't you all wish that you were as cool as Trey.

We have still been bowling every Saturday.  Trey ended up having to get a new bowling ball and it has definitely taken his game to a whole new level.
He drove himself bowling for the first time on Tuesday evening.  Now he wants to go every Tuesday night because his Saturday league buddies are there.  I guess this is part of that letting go I spoke of earlier.





Makena made it home last weekend and we had such a good time hanging out. I sure miss her when she stays at school.
She is supposed to come in this weekend but we will just have to wait and see if the roads get better.

Trey is always helping the elderly...

Makena went back to school on Sunday, and we got back to our regular schedule on Monday.  School is going well.  Trey stills sees Spanish and Algebra as useless (along with diagraming sentences) yet, we continue to do them.  

We have known since the beginning of last week that winter weather was coming mid-week, and lo and behold, here it is.  We have had freezing rain and sleet since early Thursday morning. Our electricity went out around 6:30 a.m. and didn't come back on until around 1 in the afternoon.  Thankfully we have a generator.  

We went for a little ride around the community. 
I love my driver :)

The river.

Poor trees!


Sometimes having chickens can be a pain; like when their water has to be busted up because it is frozen or when the electricity goes out and you have to run extension cords from the generator to the coop in an ice storm or in the summer when you have to make sure they have fans running.  But they are my babies, and they are laying like crazy right now.  I work hard for them; they work hard for me.  It's just what we do.

My big boy, Boone.

Happy Weekend 😄

Much Love,
Beth

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
