Kookaburra Coast: VBS 2022

G'day friends! We came off of our Kookaburra Coast VBS a little over a week ago and I'm still singing the songs and talking the "lingo"!  We had a pretty great week. This was (hopefully) my last year of directing.  It was a great experience over the last two years, but I am ready to pass the torch to another eager volunteer :)  
Ready for some Awesome Adventures!

This was the theme from Regular Baptist Press this year.

Mrs. Cheryl teaching about Moses and the burning bush.

Makena Faith was our craft lady again this year.
I am proud of her and how she is always so willing and eager to help.

"From the bush to sea, to the mountains we see God's glory"
The kids loved singing the "Kookaburra Coast Theme Song"

Makena Faith was also our tech lady!
When you are member of a small, rural church, you wear many hats!
I'm not going to lie, there are times when I long to belong to a big church! 
Somewhere that you could just get lost in the crowd if you chose to, because let's face it,
that ain't happening in a small church! 

The oldest class, singing their little hearts out.

These are our kitchen ladies.  We fed the kids nightly.
Not snacks, but meals. From hot dogs & chips to nuggets with mac & cheese,
these ladies did a great job serving!

Mr. Luke looking all cool.


The kiddos always love the "train"

We made it through the week with no major issues. The kids learned about Moses' encounter with God's glory as well as learning different facts about some of God's great creations in the Australian Outback.

"Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let they glory be above all the earth."
 Psalm 57:5

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?"....
