Life

Just a little life catch up from the Narrell's. 

• Arab City School's have implemented an IPad initiative for all Jr. High and High school kids.  Crazy....but crazy good.  I hope Narrelletts take care of there goods!  I also hope the school has good technology insurance!
• We started 7th and 11th Grade... Lord slow down life a little and let us enjoy our sweet girls.
• Greg started to school last week.  The girls and he started back the same week, he had his first test last night and made a 100!  He is so excited for this next phase in life.  Lots of changes.  He is attending a satellite office in Rainsville that is an extension of the New Orleans Baptist Seminary.  He isn't sure how much and for how long he plans to go but for now he feels like this is where God has him.  
• We have been pouring out our hearts on some major life decisions and those are never easy.  We pray for peace and for unity in our family and hearts.  God will provide.
• We have been in a period of trails for the last few months and I can honestly say that is one thing I wasn't prepared for when we were obedient to the call.  We know God called Greg into the ministry and I know that without a doubt but I must say the spiritual warfare that is present in and around church is real.  But God is a big God and the devil stands no chance when we completely lean on God.  I guess that's the learning phase we are in.  Is to totally and fully learn to lean on Christ and Christ alone.  We are learning and growing.  One day at a time.  That's all I want to add for the moment.  Maybe i can post more often again.  :0 ) happy Friday.

A quick Catch up!

 A bed I am redoing for Kacey's Room!

 A fun night of fishing on a Saturday night!

 

 

 On Tuesday, Kacey began Fall Ball season, her team won 51 - 31 and she had 14 points.  She was happy!

Just a little catch up!

Just another Day in Paradise!

Weekend

Kacey went to the football game and Alyssa spent the night with Grace they are loving the school issued IPads!  

The girls got nails done for Alyssa's birthday!  :) These girls are precious!

Just Another Day In Paradise-No other place I'd rather be!

Begin Again

 Another First Day.  My Junior! :(

 First Days always make me sad because it is more change, more independence and more growing up.  I'm trying to embrace it and bloom during this phase of life but I sure miss the little days. 

 Our 7th Grader!

Praying for an awesome school year!

Praying for health and complete understanding and that these ladies stay bright and bold for God!

A little life

 A little snap shot of life right now.  

Grace and her friends going to the movies.

Kacey and her's going to eat.  

I don't get pictures anymore so I have to steal them :)

 Grace and Gracie at Craft night at Sweet Home.  They are still close and I'm so thankful.

 An afternoon swim is always better when Papaw washes her hair with Shampoo so she doesn't have to take a bath at night.... ROTTEN!

 Some completed crafts from the weekend.

It was a good weekend and I am thankful!

Perdido Key

 The girls, they were keeping an eye on what was in the water...  I had two jelly fish stings Grace one... and two boys were stung by sting rays while we were there.  Enough to make you watch.  but the water was soooo calm... Like really calm!

 Kacey sat out but Grace talked Greg and I into riding the Banana boats.  I admit. it was fun in a crazy sort of way but I was naive about the experience going in. 

 I was thinking we will ride out stop watch dolphins ride around some more... NO>>>> 

We were slung all over the place.  Donuts and cutting back and forth over wakes.  We had glasses on but the salt water poured over us and into our eyes my eyes were burning and I drank enough to maintain a large aquarium in my lungs.  Seriously!  At more than one point I thought this is it, I'm going air born!  :0)

 This is when I was still naive thinking it was a joy ride!  :)

 When we made it back we decided it was safer to sit on the bank and watch the dolphins....

 They were getting really close!

 Absoulutely my favorite time of the day at the beach, it is so quiet and peaceful!

 I love my sweet three!
