Still having Blogger troubles WordPress anyone?
It seems I am still the only person allowed to post comments to my blog. I haven’t heard from blogger, I’ve removed what I thought might be the problem and still it doesn’t work.
So if you tried leaving a comment I thank you for the effort.
I’m wondering if anyone knows how to change from blog to wordpress? Is there a way to do it easily? Can I move all of my posts over? If anyone one knows could you send me a link or advice to DLBrandmeyer at gmail.com notice I put in spaces so please remove them before trying to email me.
Thanks!

Dealing
How do you deal with overwhelming times in your life? I’m thankful I have God to fall back on and most of the time just knowing He is there will pull me through. Sometimes though I can’t get a sense of Him being with me during those times I load up on music. Right now I need extra time with God so I’ve been hanging on to the words and music of Nicole C. Mullins –Fall, Superchick Beauty from the Pain and Stories Down to the Bottom, David Crowder Band (almost all of his songs!) are a few that pull me up from the bottom of the blues.
A few weeks ago I was really into Michael Schroeder, Send the Storm on his Fuel for the Soul cd. I was singing along with that song begging for God to send the Storm. Well God sent that storm and now I’m falling back into Him more and more each day. I’m sad that my storm included the loss of two dear people I loved but I’m not sad because falling back into God’s waiting arms brings such comfort. But next time I feel I’m moving to far from God I think I’ll ask for a few bumps in the road to send me back instead of a storm.
Saying Goodbye
Since the beginning of August our home has been filled with the loss of family. My sweet mother-in-law lost the battle with cancer just as her son, my first husband did. The same weekend my father-in-law, my husband’s father.
Both were in their eighties and vibrant personalities. Claire volunteered in so many places, at the local nursing home, the hospital as a pastoral counselor, and other places.
Despite being severely debilitated from an elevator accident only meant Oscar would try harder at living his life. He was still making breakfast for the local firemen, active with the senior center and a fantastic story teller.
There is much to say about these two people I loved but the pain is still to much. I just wanted to honor their life and the blessing they brought to my family.
A good friend sent me a copy of the photo she snapped. She calls it Under His Sheltering Wing. She reminded me that I and those I love are indeed under God’s wing. Thank you Cathye it made me feel much better.

Working 9-5
YES! I did it! I passed the test last week. I’m glad it is over and even more thankful that I won’t have to do it again.
I started working for American Family Insurance the Doyne McGinthy agency and yes I can sing the song. 🙂 I worked here several years ago but so much has changed in the software so I’m relearning new ways to do old things.
So what is God teaching me these days? Patience and the skill of not talking but listening and (did you think He’d only teach ME one?_ and that it’s okay to ask questions I don’t have to fake my knowledge.
