So as most of you know Steve hurt his let the beginning of the summer. It's been kind of a crappy summer....from my eyes! I would be lying if I painted a rosy picture of our summer. We've had cars that have needed fixing (A LOT & still!!!!!), we've had more medical bills than we expected, we've had tears, we've made memories, we've laughed, we've swore, we've been blessed, we've been loved, we've laughed, we've had joys, we've had disappointments, we've seen therapists, we've seen doctors, we've had broken garage doors, we've had working air conditioning, we've we've we've..... but threw it all we've still held on to hope that there is a God ...a God that is good and a God that loves us! We've had to remember who is in control..and it's not us!!! For as bad as I think my life is, I am still so blessed....when I really sit down and think about it...I have nothing to complain about...nothing at all! God uses these challenges in our lives to help us see that we can't do it on our own...we need HIM! It hasn't been easy for Steve to be laid up for the summer..he has taken it in stride but with things breaking faster than he can hobble out to them, has been very frustrating! Just think the summer of 2013 will look awesome...just by default!
This is a song that gets me EVERY time I hear it on the radio... Just read through the lyrics and you will know what I mean!!!!.....
I’m running back to your promises one more time,
Lord that’s all I can hold on to, I gotta say this has taken me by surprise,
but nothing surprises you. Before a heartache can ever touch my life,
it has to go through Your hands, and even though I, keep asking why, I keep asking why,
No matter what, I’m gonna love You,
no matter what I’m gonna need You,
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain but if not,if not,
I’ll trust you, no matter what, no matter what.
When I’m stuck in this nothing-ness by myself,
I’m just sitting in silence, there’s no way I can make it without Your help,
I wont even try it. I know You have Your reasons for everything, so I will keep believing,
whatever I might be feeling, God you are my hope, and you'll be my strength,
No matter what, I’m gonna love You,
no matter what I’m gonna need You,
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain but if not, if not,
I’ll trust you, no matter what, no matter what.
Anything I don’t have You can give it to me,
but it’s ok if You don’t, I’m not here for those things,
the touch of Your love is enough on its own,
no matter what I still love You and I’m gonna need You
No matter what I’m gonna still love you,
no matter what I’m gonna need you,
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain but if not, if not,
I’ll trust You, I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain, but if not, if not,
I’ll trust you, no matter what no matter what no matter no matter what

How true this song is..no matter what I'm gonna love you!
I don't write this so you will feel sorry for us or so I can whine about our situation...I document it so in the future, I can look back to see God's faithfulness! God has still been good...he still loves the Buckners!!!
