These last couple of months have been interesting to say the least. My family has not been sure where the next chapter is going to take us, but we have trusted the God that has been faithful from the beginning. “Shall not He who lead me safely through the footsteps of this day, lead with equal understanding all along my future way” (Adams). We have learned that faith is not always waiting till God speaks and tells you where to go, but sometimes we just need to take a step and get confirmation from God if that is the right step.
My devotion times with God haven’t been the greatest with all that has been going on, but I am realizing that enjoying time with my family is honoring to God as well. I’ve learned more than ever the importance of the journey. Oswald Chambers writes, “The process, not the end glorifies God. His purpose is for the minute. Each moment is precious when obedience is the end…Learn to sing in the ordinary days.” I wonder how many precious moments I let pass because I’m looking towards the end or just because it feels like a normal day. David Crowder says, “Every second is an opportunity to praise God”. I really want to live more for the moment then ever and time is not going to slow down until I figure this out.
I have also been reminded that God has indeed called me and is with me. It can be tough on a husband and father without a job but wanting to provide for his family. I have been humbled and grateful to realize that even though I want to be the provider of my family, God is the true provider. Thank you to everyone who has made our time in Dallas so special. We will miss all of you, we look forward to staying in touch and are excited for the new people God will bring into our lives. Live for the moment!

Cowboys Stadium
Tour of the new Cowboys Stadium. Notice our Cleveland Browns shirts...can't forget where your loyalties lie)
Graydon checking out his playing field someday. Remember bud, hit em low and drive the legs.
Got to support the former Buckeyes!
Where the Cowboys players will walk out onto the field right down the center of a lounge. If you're in one of the suites you can get a hot dog for $20-$30, a 6 pack of beer for $45-$65, an 8 slice pizza for $60 or 12 slices for $90 and that's not with any toppings. I think all that defines the meaning of excessive and over the top, but a good tour anyway.
