I really have had technical glitches this weekend. I felt like I would not be able to put together this week’s linkup.
This weekend, my computer failed, and I struggled with a learning curve on my new computer. I had problems with formatting and integrating pictures today; so I hope this post turns out okay.
All the struggle served as a reminder that we have to cling to faith and trust in God. Marriage woes; parenting issues; and failed technology can wear us down; but we have a God who is in control.
What issues are you facing this week? Please share in the comments below.
Now on to our weekly linkup. First let’s meet your hosts:

23 Extraordinary Life Skills to Pass on to Your Children
By Tehila at Women Abiding
This list is chalk full of inspiration. Tehila divided these important skills into three realms: spiritual, sensible, and social. The spiritual skills she recommends that we pass on to our children really touched me. I hope you will enjoy this post.

Mary, I sympathize with your technical difficulties this week. I have had my share, dare I say more than my share, since installing a new theme. Mostly a learning curve but a more powerful theme required more powerful everything. So lots of glitches. Praying that yours get ironed out quickly. Thanks for hosting and blessings!
Oh Mary, I almost didn’t read your post. I despise technology issues. I felt stressed just looking at the picture. The post looks great. Thank you for working through them.
I have many frustrations this week. One of which is technology. My computer is in the shop and I am working on my old computer. I keep finding myself missing things. Yes, I did back up my old one but it seems to complicated to retrieve the data.
Blessings to you,
Maree

The biggest issue I’m facing this week is frustration with my uncooperative body!

Mary, you sure have had your share of problems recently. I’m glad you were able to get the technical issues taken care of and get the post up and running. You do a lot each week and I appreciate all the work you do. May God give you a sense of peace and time to rest. Blessings and love! xo
I have to confess that your articles are sensational, this weekend computer then 🙂 amazing
Sometimes, mine is slow, Pinterest acts up, I still have things to learn about blogging.
I’m having technological issues, too – mainly the computer freezing up mid-project, then having to forcibly restart the computer. My son is coming home in a few weeks, so I am praying nothing crashes before he can take a look at it.
And I have had “one of those mornings” today where almost nothing has gone the way it was “supposed” to, and here it is lunchtime and I don’t have my Monday post up yet. Other things have come up, and when I have had a chance to write, my brain just was not clicking. I need to make a list of a few old posts to rerun when that happens. The hardest part is, I have two ideas for a post and can’t figure out which one to go with – but neither of them are coming together.
For me, in some ways it’s harder to trust God for the everyday frustrations than with the big trials of life. We almost can’t help but trust Him for the big things – we know they’re beyond us, and that He allowed them for a reason, and He’s the only one who has the wisdom and power to deal with them. But today is proof that those things are true of the “little” problems as well.
Hope your tech glitches work out and God gives grace, wisdom, and strength for the other issues as well.

Technology is a continual challenge for me, and here on this country hill, internet is spotty and unreliable (not unlike my brain these days!).
Persevering alongside you, Mary!
