Moment by Moment

Moment by moment I’m kept in His love;

Moment by moment I’ve life from above;


Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;


Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.



Never a trial that He is not there,


Never a burden that He doth not bear,


Never a sorrow that He doth not share,


Moment by moment, I’m under His care.





Never a heartache, and never a groan,


Never a teardrop and never a moan;


Never a danger but there on the throne,

Moment by moment He thinks of His own.



Never a weakness that He doth not feel,


Never a sickness that He cannot heal;


Moment by moment, in woe or in weal,


Jesus my Savior, abides with me still.

Moment by moment I’m kept in His love;

Moment by moment I’ve life from above;


Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;


Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.



I love hymns. I came across this hymn the other day during one of my devotions. Hymns speak of His truth, His power, His character, His faithfulness, and His strength. I feel hymns have a depth to them that you can recall to mind to give you strength and hope for every situation.

Our Puppy Nantucket!

A few months before we got married we got a little Old English black lab puppy. We named her Nantucket and for short we call her Tucket. We love her. She is so sweet! She loves to follow you all around the house, she likes to be right by your feet. We have really enjoyed taking walks and playing with her.

She does the cutest thing with her head when you talk to her, she tilts it back and forth from side to side, it is like she is really trying to understand what you are saying! Here a few pictures I tried taking of her doing it. 

She loves the little kid pool we got her. It is so hot in Texas in the summer time, hopefully this will keep her cool! 

She rides well in the car when we go to Tyler to hang out with my family or go to the lake! 

Lean Hard

"Child of my love, lean hard,
And let me feel the pressure of your care
I know your burden, child. I shaped it
Balanced it in mine own hand; made no proportion
In its weight to your unaided strength
For even as I laid it on, I said
I will be near and while she leans on me,
This burden will be mine, not hers;
So will I keep my child within the
circling arms of my own love.
Here lay it down, nor fear
To impose it on a shoulder that upholds
the government of worlds. Yet closer come:
You are note near enough. I would embrace your care;
So I might feel my child reclining on my breast.
You love me, I know so then do not doubt;
But loving me, lean hard."
-from the devotion book Streams in the Desert

A Blessed Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend spending time with my family! Two weeks ago we found out that my mother has breast cancer. This past Friday she had surgery and the Lord blessed us with a smooth surgery and she is doing well. As we know there is more to fight in this battle we praise Him for a successful surgery! My mother has walked this with faith, hope and God's strength.
My brother welcoming my mother home!

We will continue to lean on God's faithfulness, hope and strength as we fight this battle. 

We were excited to fish with my brother! We got up early and headed out. It was a relaxing and fun time to be out on the lake. I was so excited b/c I caught 2 fish. Last time I went fishing with my brother I didn't catch a thing. Todd did great with fly fishing and my brother caught the biggest fish of the day! We can't wait to go again!

Trust

"Trust Him when dark doubt assail you,

Trust Him when your strength is small.

Trust Him when, to simply trust Him

Seems the hardest thing of all.

Trust Him, He is ever faithful

Trust Him, for His will is best.

Trust Him, for the heart of Jesus

Is the only place of rest.

Trust Him through the clouds and sunshine;

All your cares upon Him cast,

'Til the storms of life are over

And the trusting days are past."

-W. Cameron Townsend

Our Honeymoon!

We had a wonderful and relaxing time on our honeymoon in Myrtle Beach, SC. Our condo was right on the beach. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool, laying out at the beach, taking walks on the beach, shopping and going out for dinner every evening! 

We enjoyed dinner at Yamato Steak House and Hibachi! It was very tasty! 

We took relaxing walks on the beach in the mornings and evenings.

We had a nice and romantic dinner at The Melting Pot!

We're MARRIED! 

Can't go to the beach without enjoying some Crab legs! 

The last weekend we were there Todd surprised me and took me to Charleston, SC. He knows his wife! I loved the cobble stone streets, window boxes, the houses, the cute downtown, and the historic hotel we stayed in.
