| well, apparently that didn't work, because that link isn't sending you to the right place. no wonder no one cares about my life anymore. hah!!  i'll have to ask daniel, the computer genius, when he gets back home. in the meantime, here is the post from "cupalatte", for your enjoyment.
*sigh* we just got back from an incredible vacationing time in canada, and oh! it was magnificent! we rode horses (daniel got his knee smashed against a tree) and slept in (oh so very lovely!) and bummed around toronto (i wore my flops on the wrong feet for a while to help them not hurt as much! a word of advice: if you’re planning on doing a lot of walking, do not wear old navy flip flops! your feet will not be happy with you at the end of the day.), we touristed it up at niagara falls (the canadian side of course!), swam at the resort where we stayed (it was given to us for free), ate a five-course meal at a fancy restaurant nearby that lasted us two days (compliments of the time-share folks who talked our ears off for an hour and half), had a couple pillow fights (yeah, we did!), got milk in a bag (all three liters of it!), read/prayed/laughed/talked and just overall caught up on Life. it was beautiful.
on monday, i start my new job as an “administrative professional” for HQ Global Workplaces. i’m so thrilled to be able to work for a company that is excited to have me. they said i’m talented and will be a great part of their team. those are definitely amazing words to hear when you feel you’ve been beat into the ground for a company who could care less for you than the mice they have scampering about the place. i can’t wait!
it’s so nice to be at this junction on our lives, because daniel is starting a lot of new things (his own photography business, for example. you should check out his website, it’s spectacular! danielsmythphoto.com!), and i’m starting new things… there’s all kinds of hope and light and brightness on the horizon, along with quite a few ?s and things to ponder/pray through still… so, we’ll see where all of this leads us. “further up and further in, God. please keep taking us there and leading the way. we’re Your children. we love You!”
i miss you all. please, let's get coffee, or catch up via e-mail, or leave each other more random messages, or call and hear each other's voices, or something.
in other news, please be praying for christopher, as he heads off to india today. he'll be there for six weeks, finding Jesus again. how i envy him... may we all search for our Lord in the mundane chaos of every day.
that's all.
(p.s. i think i fixed it. try it again: my new site) | | |

| "there's bound to come some trouble to your life, but that ain't nothing to be afraid of
i know there's bound to come some trouble to your life, but that ain't no reason to fear
i know there's bound to come some trouble to your life, reach out to Jesus, hold on tight,
He's been there before and He knows what it's like,
and you'll find He's there
"there's bound to come some tears up in your eyes, but that ain't nothing to be afraid of
i know there's bound to come some tears up in your eyes, but that ain't no reason to fear
i know there's bound to come some tears up in your eyes, reach out to Jesus, hold on tight
He's been there before and He knows what it's like
and you'll find He's there
"now people say, "maybe things will get better,"
people say, "maybe it won't be long,"
people say, "maybe you'll wake up tomorrow and it'll all be gone."
but i only know that maybe is just ain't enough when you need something to hold on to
and there's only one things that's clear...
"there's bound to come some trouble to your life, but that ain't nothing to be afraid of
i know there's bound to be some tears up in your eyes, but that ain't no reason to fear
i know there's bound to come some trouble to your life,
reach out to Jesus,
hold on tight...
He's been there before,
and He knows what it's like,
and you'll find He's there"

| next step: a trip to the international house of prayer in a few weekends, just as the choir heads off to brazil for some amazing ministry via singing/staying with people/speaking their language in snippets, etc. etc. oh, how excited i am for them, that they get to "GO", and we're still stuck in " we don't know what's next..." but, i suppose God has something up His sleeve (He always does, and not in a purposefully tricky way, He just knows so much, being outside of time and all), and we just have to be patient for Him to show us. and it'll probably be one of those things (like it was for rebekah, isaac's wife, in the o.t.), where we're going about our business and then all of a sudden we'll realize we're right where we need to be, and we won't be sure how we got there, but it'll be great, and we will have enjoyed the journey, despite the frustrations and waiting times and who-knows-what-else along the way. *sigh* trust and obey, for there's NO other way-- to be happy in Jesus, to get through this life, to survive, to find your place in this world, to find any meaning to anything (and, remarkably, all meaning in everything!),... yep. that's our lot in life.
as to the rest of your who are wrestling with all of this as well, good luck to you. hang in there, keep your chin up and your gaze directed at the skies, because He WILL see you through this and He is not going to give up on you--Ever!! He who began a good work in you will be faithful and carry it out to completion, even if you don't see how all the pieces fit in this lifetime. it's all okay, and He is in control. trust Him.
that's all.
please pray. (it does a body good.)
