Day 121 - My help comes from the Lord

I'm clinging to the words of Psalm 121 right now. The Lord guards my going out and coming in. He knows what the days ahead of us hold. We are in His hands. He is where my help comes from. He never sleeps. He protects me. He will not allow me to slip.

So grateful.

And no, I didn't plan for Psalm 121 to be my picture on Day 121. Just happened :)

Day 120 - Rosebushes

Beautiful. So grateful for such amazing beauty growing just across the street!

Day 119 - My SWING Group

Today we had a picnic with my SWING Group (Seminary Wives in Nurturing Groups). Our husbands came too, which is always fun! I've been in this group for a year and a half, and it has been one of the biggest blessings in my time here in Dallas. This picture is the gift they gave to me and the other girl leaving - a picture of our group with everyone's signature. It is a treasured gift!

There is something special about being with a group of people who completely understand what your life is like right now - seminary, papers and homework, Greek and Hebrew, internships, financial struggles, being the main provider for you and your husband. These are not the normal dealings of life! But these girls all are facing the same things as me. And it's such a great support.

Jess, Breanna, Becky, Kim, Kristine, Libby, Ressie, Lindsday, Amy, Mysti -  What a joy it has been to get to know you all. Thank you for your love, support, and prayers. I've LOVED spending this time in Dallas with you, and I will miss you all so much!

Day 118 - Fun Dip!

Today I received a box in the mail from my best friend back home. What did it contain???

Oh yes it did. Fun Dip! And not just one. Not just two. A whole box.

Forty-eight Fun Dips.

All mine.

I love you, Stephanie!!! :)

Day 117 - Pool (or Billiards, if you prefer!)

And I actually won! When I play Roy, that's not the normal outcome :) So thankful for fun games to just relax!

Day 116 - Baby Birds

Roy and I took a walk this evening at dusk. We were coming around one of the buildings on campus when a bird seemed to fall out of the sky! This baby bird was testing out his wings and trying to fly! We watched him for a little while as he wobbled around on unsteady feet and attempted to fly up into the trees. I love his speckled breast!
