Edited to add: I made the switch from bloglines to google reader and I'm hoping it will work much better. Also, I downloaded Firefox browser and I am LOVING it!!! Soooo much better than Internet Explorer, I think!! Yay! It seems some of the technical difficulties are no more!
~ My internet has been acting up all week and it is driving me crazy! Just when I get online and start making some headway reading blogs, it acts up and says "this page cannot be displayed" I am so tired of seeing that page I could scream!
~ Bloglines...is anyone else having trouble with it? I have several blogs that have a red exclamation point beside them indicating that there is an error, but others have no error message but are still not notifying me of new posts. Agghh!
~ I started working on a photo book using this cool site and my computer frozed up TWICE, of course before I could save the progress I had made.
~ Sorry if I am behind on reading/commenting on your blog due to the aforementioned technical difficulties.
~ I tried to motivate myself to clean some this morning and got a few things done. I swept and vacuumed, but decided against mopping. It has rained here the past couple of days and I know that Mason will track muddy pawprints all over the floor tonight. I'm ready for the sun to come out and dry things up!
~ I have so much on my mind and weighing heavy on my heart. We may have some big changes coming in the near future, and even though it is something that I have prayed about (even as far back as August '07), it is still a little scary to think that it might actually be happening soon. I find myself worried, concerned, anxious and nervous about what God has in store.
~ The first words of a devotional I read this morning were "Do not fret..." Ps. 37:1 God's Word is good, and it is alive and active. Thank you, Father! Your lovingkindness reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
"Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret..." Ps. 37:7

I had some trouble with blogger the other night.. It was driving me nuts..
ReplyDeleteI have missed your post and comments this past week..
I said a little pray for you just now!!
Ah I've been thinking about you, I'll be praying for the potential changes! I could scream with you, I totally understand all of those technical difficulties. Glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteand I cleaned yesterday too, and totally skipped mopping!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder from Psalm 37:7....I'm going to jot it and post it for a few days. Will be praying with you about the changes on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering where you were. If we didn't see you in this blog land before this weekend I was going to email you. I'm glad you re-surfaced! I have been having lots of blogline issues. It is really frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI checked out that cool website you are using to make a photobook, it is really neat. I think I will use it to order my wedding pictures! I am praying for you and the big changes, change is always scary, even if it is for the best!
I was just thinking today about how badly my kitchen needs to be mopped...oh well, another time! I have also had some serious trouble with Bloglines lately. It is not picking up on all my blogs so I constantly feel like I am missing things. Not sure what to do about it but I can feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteCarrie
"Do not fret." My theme for the day. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble with bloglines, too. I'm thinking of trying google reader (?) but haven't taken the time to do that yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to hear what God is doing for you, Faith. Sounds exciting.
Have a great weekend!
I'm in the same boat with Bloglines...ANNOYING!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what God is about to do in your life!
I have been wondering about you and missing you! You sound like you had a pretty rotten couple of days...but look ahead the weekend is here and I just know it will be GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to pass on the lunchbox idea for now...but I'm hoping to buy a few things for Christmas gifts.
Thanks and glad you're back!!
Praying that God will calm your heart and mind! I am looking forward to hearing whatever it is that is coming up!
ReplyDeleteMy devotion was about how Jesus sent the disciples into the storm. Even though we are in His will those storms still come and we definitely get concerned! I know it's hard, but keep leaning on Him! He holds it all in His hands.
ReplyDeleteLove you!
My bloglines has been acting crazy too! God will hear your prayers! I hope everything calms down. Don't FRET! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of change - especially when you are EXPECTING change to come for awhile & it finally approaches - its scary. Hang in there & know its a time where your faith is tested even more (no pun intended) & your trust in God! He will provide & protect! We all go through these times only to find how much we grow at the end of it all!!!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and Chad and knowing that God has you right in the center of His will and right in the palm of His hand! I am excited about what God is going to do in both of your lives!
ReplyDeleteI love you to pieces!
Mom
I love Google Reader- a lot more that Bloglines.
ReplyDeleteTry not to worry- easier said than done, I know. God gave you a great reminder right when you needed it. Have a great weekend!
My computer time got a lot better, too, when I changed to Firefox.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you, Faith! I know God will lead you and bless you for your obedience! Here's hoping this week is better!
ReplyDeleteUgh. I hate computer problems! Glad to hear things are fixed now =-).
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you and your husband and your upcoming changes...may God grant you peace and wisdom.
I love the scripture you quoted!
Blessings and hugs to you!

Oh, and of course you are ALREADY on my list!! Thanks for praying for me too. =-) I really appreciate it!!
Computer problems are the worst! Glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope things are better today!! I'll be anxious to hear what God's working out in your life right now! Saying a prayer right now! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI am technically disabled! lol
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog.
I'm curious to hear of what has been weighing on your heart. Praying for in the midst of the soon-to-be changes. Thanks for Psalm 37 - I almost always need that verse on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteI have been having some computer problems too- I hope yours get better soon!
ReplyDeleteFirefox is amazing!!!! I hope that you will love it as much as we do.....
ReplyDeleteI have a lot going on here too...and that verse is what I needed today! Thank you!

Stopped by through someone else's blog, just had to say how cute your whole setup was.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day.
Faith, I'll be praying for you, please don't worry. God wants to bless the people who love him.
ReplyDeleteFaith--I made the switch to Google Reader too and I am so happy with it! Definitely worth the work to move everything over. :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie
This might be called a posting funk! ;-) Are you still having computer issues?
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm nervous and anxious feeling the best verses for me are Philippians 4:6-7. It says, "Do not be anxious about ANYTHING...". Keep reading this over and over. Verse 7 is where it gets good (nice grammar, huh?). :) I will be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteChange and feeling the fear of "what if's?"....You wrote: ~ I have so much on my mind and weighing heavy on my heart.

ReplyDeleteA few years ago I read this "you don't need faith except in an environment of fear." Before I 'got this' I would not only feel fear, but guilt as a Christian feeling my fears. Folks that have lost their minds go about fearlessly...we will feel fear, but because of Christ in us we will proceed with faith in Him no matter what.
Just found your blog but I will return. Thanks for your heart and your writing.
