Cowboys and Such

Happy March friends!  Can you believe that?!  This year is already speeding by.  
I should have blogged this on Sunday night, but I am a procrastinator and I had to run into town with Carl and Trey, so here is my weekend recap on Tuesday😉 Done is better than perfect, right?!

On our way to the rodeo!

Saturday night was rodeo night!  We left our house early enough for us to go eat when we got to Little Rock.  When we were walking in the restaurant, we noticed this group of people at a table staring at us, more particularly, Trey.  As you can see, he was all out cowboy (which isn't unusual for him).  We commented on them staring but continued on to our table.  As we sat there, different people from the table would come up and walk past us to go to the restroom (staring the whole time).  Finally, an older lady in the group stopped by and said that he looked like someone famous (I don't know who she said) and wanted to take his picture😂  We are still laughing about that.


My #1 cowboy 💓

Me and my baby.
It was nice to be able to spend some time with him.  


I got zero pictures of the actual bull riding.  It was too intense, and I didn't want to have to watch it through my phone!  I would say it was time and money well spent.  By the time Saturday rolled around we were definitely needing a distraction from the heaviness of the world.  
You don't have to feel guilt and post a flag or share your opinion about things we see through a fuzzy lens.  You can pray in secret to your Father in heaven who can do infinitely more than a hashtag can.
Love on your family.  Pray for what worries you.  And trust God is handling it all.  He is not surprised.  He is not sleeping.  
Omnipotent.
Omniscient. 
Omnipresent.
Alpha. Omega.

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...
