prayer request

  • Account Question

    Well, I see that it’s still pretty quiet around the new and ‘not-so-improved’ Xanga …
    it doesn’t look like too many on my subscription list have found their way here yet. :(

    I’ve clicked on ‘Following’ on my dashboard, and it took me to the subscription list.
    I went through and clicked on each site, and most of the time it took me directly to the main Xanga page
    that says this ………….

    We’ve saved your blog archives for you!

    Read below for details on how to retrieve your data.

    How to retrieve your data

    We’ve saved an archive of all of your blog posts!

    There are two ways to retrieve your data.

    You can either:

    1. Sign into Xanga and download the archive (for free, of course) from the link at the top of your dashboard, or
    2. Upgrade to Xanga 2.0 and we will upgrade your blog to the new servers using the data in the backup.

    ……………………………………………………

    Then the other sites I went to … they were there, up and running.

    I’m still confused, and still learning to navigate my way around here … I sure hope you’re all doing better than I am!!
    I must admit, I do miss our ‘old’ home … it’s here that I have to say, not all change is good!

    This is basically a stripped down version of the WordPress format …
    I do have another site over on the full version of WordPress with the same name ‘threads of faith’.
    I got that one started in order to get ahead of this ‘move’, but you’ll see I haven’t done much there either,
    although I have noticed there are quite a few features missing from this format compared to that one.
    So what are you thoughts on this ‘new’ Xanga so far?

    Now, can anyone help?!
    I’m wondering how we can see our account information, as we were able to do on the old Xanga site.
    You could see when, and how, you paid for Premium as well as the renewal date.
    I’m actually amazed I’ve still been able to sign on here … I didn’t think I had that much time left on my Premium account.
    I wonder how they let you know this if there isn’t any account information page? Email?
    I do need to find out though, so I can pay when the time for my upgrade comes …

    I do not want this to disappear when my time is up!

    And, I haven’t a clue as to where I can find that information!
    I would so appreciate any help on this!

    I also have another prayer request … this time for my dear husband …
    we found out he may have a heart arrhythmia.
    His heart will skip a beat here and there, and he gets very tired easily.
    He’s had this in the past, and they found out it was caused by his adrenal glands and thyroid.
    Once they got those two things back in good working order, he was feeling better than he ever had.
    I’m praying for a repeat performance and that he will feel better than normal again, soon!
    We are going to the doctor this coming Friday morning, and we would so appreciate your prayers!

    Thank you all so much, and I’ll keep you posted!
    I hope you all have a blessed Thursday!
    - Debi xoxo

    I LOVE THIS MAN!!

  • two together … two apart

    Well, it’s been a little while since I’ve been here …

    weddings do that sometimes … my great niece got married this past Sunday.

    It was a day I was quite nervous about … I was to be taking their wedding photos with my son.

    The rehearsal went well, and I was confident I had worked with my new camera enough to get a few acceptable shots.

    I was grateful my son was ‘in charge’, and I would follow his lead …
    his dad also had my older camera to capture a few images himself …
    he helped to lighten the load, and I have to say he’s not half bad with a camera in hand!

    It’s going to take some time to go through some 2000+ photos and pick out the better ones
    for their wedding album … so you know where I’ll be for the next few weeks!

    There are three sets of images … his #1, his #2, and mine.
    I’ve only gotten through half of his #2′s photos today.

    Here are a couple of shots our son (his #2) captured of a very sweet couple
    on a very beautiful day …

    *I am asking for prayer from my Xanga friends …
    many of you have come to know our son over the years on here as I have shared.
    He has been going through a very difficult time with his wife …
    sadly, they are now separated and their marriage may very well be over.

    He doesn’t want this … and as difficult as things got, he never did,
    but she has chosen to return to live the life he was hoping he had rescued her from …
    he still loves her deeply and
    I only know of one way in which he found the strength
    to go out on Sunday to take photos of this wedding …

    only God’s grace … enabling

    … reminders of his life with her …
    the bride’s dress was almost identical to the one his wife wore on their wedding day -
    the songs they played are what they played at their wedding -
    and her name is also Nicole.

    I could tell it was a very difficult day for Ian – mom’s know these things …
    then there was the hint of tears
    still, he wouldn’t let on that his heart was completely and utterly breaking.

    today he is carrying his pain alone not ready to open up

    My heart breaks for our son …
    he knows we are here for him … always
    please pray that God will bring him comfort in the midst of his pain.
    and please pray for Nicole …
    that God would completely capture her heart
    and that she would truly come to know Him and His free gift of salvation and grace.
    Thank you all!

quote and verse

Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.
- Andrew Murray -

God often comes to us,
not in dramatic and the spectacular,
but in quiet, unexpected ways ...
In a still, small voice,
a gentle whisper,
God makes known His love.

In quietness and trust
is your strength.
Isaiah 30:15

Pleasure, possessions, power, and privilege are ultimately worthless in comparison to the indescribable
joy of knowing GOD!!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5,6

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
Psalm 32:8
