so it's snowing in Buffalo again...I'm sure this stuns, shocks and amazes you. Um, what day is summer this year?
I'm in a sort of rambly type mood and thought maybe our loyal readers would enjoy an update....
not much is new. Gotta go see about making my car stop dripping tranny fluid on Thursday (pray for an inexpensive fix)....waiting for nicer weather to re-list the house (pray for God to give me wisdom and a solution to this whole having to pay a mortgage thing...)....trying to figure out exactly what we want for our wedding and just how we will pay for it....Darryl is still looking for a second job....
and yet in the midst of the trials, I am at peace...which probably shocks you a whole lot more than the snow.....Amazing how faithful our God is....He never changes, He never shifts or gets bored with me and my constant worries and trials...instead...He holds me up and refines me and supplies me with the strength to take this breath and take that step....I must quote Mary here "My soul doeth magnify the Lord"
so in the true tradition of being the lyric queen...some more lyrics for you...old one...good one...brings tears....but brings a smile in the midst of those tears....
because:
When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
My sin o the joy of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross
andI bear it no more
Praise the lord, praise the lord,O my soul!
And lord haste the day
When my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and
The lord shall descend
Even so it is well with my soul
Let these words wash over you today...and may you find peace, whatever storm is rolling over you....
remember...
Sometimes God quiets the storm...sometimes He lets the storm rage and quiets the child....
I know the plans I have for you ... Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."- Jeremiah 29:11

GOOD SONG!
Friends of ours had this sung at their wedding....since then it's stuck with Bug and me...
old hymn...but dude....the words...
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt of life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
old hymn...but dude....the words...

so the mystery is solved...our countdown clock somehow made blogger think that we shouldn't get new posts...so I nuked it and did this loverly new template....so....
hrm.
maybe I'll figure out a new way to have the countdown....that would be nice, right?
I went to the Lillypie place E used on Waasup....but they don't have one for more than a year and well....ours is a year and a little bit....hrmph!
but anyway.
so that's where our posts were hiding.
Bug had his sibs take some cute pics of us...when I can convince him to post them is a whole nother thing...but anyway....
