May God Bless This Engagement

Let's Taco 'Bout A Wedding

Pooker had this to say,

"I guess he likes me. We’re so excited! Thank you to my family who helped make last night so special! Java Java you’re the best. I’m beyond overjoyed to continue growing with you!" 💙

This one is my favorite!

Sugar,

I’m so excited for these two!!! Pooker is literally the best older sister in the world! She always takes care of everyone and has helped all of us grow into the people that we are today! She is an amazing woman and will be a great wife!!! JavaJava is one of few people who have not had to take a “break or step back” because there were so many of us, he never got overwhelmed, He came into our family and fits right in! He is one of the best, and I can’t wait for him to be our brother in law!! Both of them are a great example of what a good faithful, loving relationships is!! I can’t wait to see what God has planned for them!! 💍"

Pooker:

"I don't know if other women go though this thought process, but changing my last name has always been something that would hurt my heart when thinking about the possibility of marriage. I love my family, my name and our heritage. I love and respect how hard my parents and grandparents worked to instill good values in each little T they had. It's a great last name! I love and have always loved being a T, especially in St. Louis
When I met A and then his parents and began to meet each sibling I knew I would be ok taking his name. It was one of those things that was on my heart, that I didn't know would confirm things for me, but it did.

This picture captures that for me. It hurts my heart a little bit, but reminds me of the amazing family I come from and the reality of two becoming one. I know we're hard to grasp for a lot of you. Our family isn't your standard family by any measure and I had a lot of people question why Austin included my siblings and parents in our engagement. Y'all, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Honesty, having them there was my only desire. I wouldn't be who I am without each sibling and my parents and that's who he's in love with.

Yes, we're absolutely in love and enjoy our time alone together. We also really enjoy sharing our love with our families and I treasure that about both of us so much. Mom and Dad, thanks for sharing your name for so long. A, I can't wait to take yours even if you don’t have a park." 😘""

For a few hours this is all that Pooker posted on Facebook about her engagement. I love how she choose to tell people!
Pooker:
"JavaJava and I got some help from Twin Beautiful to share some news..."

We are beyond happy for Pooker and JavaJava. May God Bless their engagement and may they always remember that the first goal of this relationship is to bring each other to Christ.

JavaJava let us know what was going to happen. He knew that Pooker wanted her family there when he proposed. She didn't know it was coming. Java knows how much Pooker loves tacos. Really it is one of her favorite foods (some will remember her sweet sixteen party). We got several packs of tacos in preparation for these two to drive into town and meet us at the T park. He proposed with a "TACO ring" and that is why she looks upset in a few pictures. She thought he might be teasing her. Then she realized how serious things were and was over joyed in saying yes. We were so thankful that we were allowed to celebrate in the asking.

Pooker and JavaJava are engaged! All For You O Lord! . . . and everything they do is for HIM.

Join us in praying for this beautiful young couple preparing for the sacrament of marriage.

What will I see here?

Take a peek into our life as a big family in Houston, TX. Welcome to the electronic journal for the Texas T family. This blog was created to share some moments of our life with you. Often having 11 children (including twins), homeschooling, and being incredibly active in our Catholic faith we are asked “How do you do it?” We invite you to look around, sign up as a follower, and peek into the answer to that question. Remember we are not a perfect family; but I won't post the bad stuff.

Thanks for visiting, Neen

The Nicene Creed

We believe (I believe) in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and born of the Father before all ages. (God of God) light of light, true God of true God. Begotten not made, consubstantial to the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And was incarnate of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin Mary and was made man; was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried; and the third day rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, and shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, of whose Kingdom there shall be no end. And (I believe) in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father (and the Son), who together with the Father and the Son is to be adored and glorified, who spoke by the Prophets. And one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We confess (I confess) one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for (I look for) the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help ~ Pray For Us!

Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Mother of the Church you are also our Mother of Perpetual Help. With hearts full of love for you we consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart so that we may be your devoted children. Obtain for us true sorrow for our sins and fidelity to the promises of our Baptism. We consecrate our minds and hearts to you that we always do the Will of our heavenly Father. We consecrate our lives to you that we may love God better and live not for ourselves but for Christ, your Son and that we may see Him and serve Him in others. By this humble act of consecration dear Mother of Perpetual Help we pledge to model our lives on you, the perfect Christian. So that, consecrated to you in life and in death we may belong to your Divine Son for all eternity. Amen

St. Joseph ~ Pray For Us!

NINE-DAYS NOVENA TO ST. JOSEPH (Note: This prayer was found in the 50th year of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sometime during the 16th century, it was sent by the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. It is said that whoever shall read this prayer or take it with them, shall never die a sudden death or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.) Say this prayer for nine days for anything you may desire. Then let go and let God. Trust that whatever is the outcome of your novena is truly what is best for you in accordance with the will of God.) O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O Saint Joseph, assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O Saint Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. Amen O Saint Joseph, hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. O Saint Joseph, pray for me. (Mention your intention)

St. Bernard of Clairvaux

St. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote to a couple that had a miscarriage. In response to their question, “What is going to happen to my child? The child didn’t get baptized,” St. Bernard said, “Your faith spoke for this child. Baptism for this child was only delayed by time. Your faith suffices. The waters of your womb — were they not the waters of life for this child? Look at your tears. Are they not like the waters of baptism? Do not fear this. God’s ability to love is greater than our fears. Surrender everything to God.”

St. Jude ~ Pray For Us!

(Novena say this for 9 days) Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly - (make your request here)- and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.

St. Anthony of Padua ~ Pray For Us!

Holy Saint Anthony, gentle and powerful in your help, your love for God and charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were always ready to request for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the Saint of miracles. Gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart is ever full of human sympathy, take my petition to the Infant Savior for whom you have such a great love, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.
