Weekend Rewind

 Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had the best weekend. We were busy getting the house back in order and preparing for "normal" (as if that is a real thing, ha!). 

Makena and Carl decided to do a little target shooting.



I know that some won't agree, but we have always taught our kids to be comfortable and responsible around firearms. Knowledge is power. We are a hunting family, and we definitely believe in our 2nd Amendment rights. 
Carl did a little grilling. I'm not sure if he has spent too much time on TikTok or what, but he has been influenced to get the perfect rub for chicken wings. He has big plans for Super Bowl Sunday (hope everyone likes wings!). All joking aside, they were very flavorful and cooked to perfection.

He also threw some cheddar jalapeno brats on. 

I spent Saturday morning cleaning out my office. During Christmas break, everything was just crammed in there and we closed the door. It had gotten so bad, that I could barely walk in there and I couldn't even see my desk! It was complete chaos, and it gave me extreme anxiety!

This isn't even everything that I took out of the room.
I am happy to report that it is as good as new now and there is nothing blocking my treadmill or desk, so I guess that means back to work!

It wouldn't be the weekend without church. We had several families out yesterday with sicknesses/traveling, but both services were great. I just love that little country church!

That pretty much sums up my weekend here on the homestead. It wasn't super exciting but very productive. Here's to the start of a great 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?"....
