Weekend Recap

 Happy Monday, friends! We have had such a fun weekend here on the homestead. Everything is supposed to be back to normal this week, but now winter weather is in the forecast. It is definitely not my favorite (I'm a summer girlie at heart). Anyhow, I promised a post about the Prayer Board Party I attended on Friday night, so here it goes!

Ellie Kate and Makena were doing their boards on the island

My mom even found Wrenley a little purple board with kitty stickers.

Me and Makena were excited to get started!

Eli, Wrenley, and Carlie 

Wrenley wanted to show off her mommy's board while I showed mine.

The whole crew!

The party was so fun and a little chaotic. My sister was supposed to come with Ellie Kate, but she had a kidney stone and had to go home. My mom didn't get to do her board with us because a cute little toddler kept having meltdowns! Eli and Ellie Kate came from the Sonic movie and since Jamie had to leave them for my mom to pick up, Eli had to come to the party. He mostly chilled in the living room and tried to play with Wrenley, but she wasn't having it! In the end, she settled down and worked on her board and she was so proud of it. We made my mom promise that she will make her prayer board on her own. 
I think it will be great to write down my prayers and just have that visual.  It will also be great to reflect on everything God has done at the end of the year.
We also ate pizza, candy, and other treats. This would be a lot of fun with a group of ladies.

Carl and I watched Wrenley on Friday afternoon and of course I have to post some pictures of her!
She was helping Pappy drive.
Don't worry, we are on the back roads!!

She loves going to check on Trey's dog, Maggie.

Sitting in her lawn chair, wearing her Little Sleepies & sparkly Crocs, and eating her nonuts!
She does what she wants at BeBe and Pappy's house!

We didn't do much on Saturday. Carl has been half sick and did something to his back, so we just hung out around the house. He helped Trey try to get the heater in his truck working. I think they finally got it. There is always something going on around here!
We all went to church on Sunday. I had a Sunday School class full of kiddos. I love that!
Wrenley with her church bestie, Adalee.
They haven't seen each other in a couple of weeks.

Hope you all had a great weekend and have plans to stay warm this week!

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?"....
