Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends!  Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for another Friday Favorites.


It has been a couple of extremely hot weeks here in southeast Arkansas.  I've stayed inside unless we are swimming, in the boat at the river, or it's after 7 pm.  And that leads me to my first favorite: POOL DAYS!
Taking a dip in the nice cool pool and reading a good book!

Makena is my little bookworm!

We've also spent quite a bit of time at the river.  The evenings after Carl and Trey get off work are our favorites, but afternoons when Carlie and Caleb can come out are fun too!
Carl let Trey take the jet boat for a spin.  I was nervous until he came back to the sandbar, but he handled it well.  He has driven many times (with Carl in the boat), so he was pretty confident. 

Fun river days will always be a summer favorite!

Carl and Caleb were just chilling.
I'm not sure if you can see all of the snacks, but those belong to the pregnant lady :)

River Selfie!

It's no big secret that I love a good energy drink.  Don't waste your time telling me how bad they are for me! Monster Energy (the green cans) are usually my go-to, but I decided to try something different this week.
 I just may have a new favorite energy drink!

I have tried several of the Alani flavors and have never been impressed with them.  This is the Alani Rocket Pop flavor, and it was actually really good (and it is sugar free!). 

This is my favorite *brand new* baby cousin!

I loved getting in on all of the sweetest baby snuggles.



I can't forget my favorite four-legged friend.
The heat has been pretty hard on him too!

Riding the Ranger with our best boy

He loves riding to the farm. 
He would have been out in the rice field with Carl but he was (mostly) clean.


This is probably one of my favorite times of day lately

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

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!...

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...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
