Today is Dec. 31, New Years Eve. This year has flown by. God has done so many amazing things in my life. Some subtle others WOW... I thank Him for them all, even the ones I am totally unaware of. It's a time to reflect; How has God moved in your life this past year?
It's a time to look forward, the good ol' new years resolution. It seems almost silly to make one as usually it has to do with; loosing weight, or exercising, or some self absorbed improvement or desire.
What would God have me do this next year? That's another way to make a resolution for the new year.
Last Tues I went and had my second Hep A & B shot. (they are so nice in the Hendersonville Health Dept- for immunizations) This time I was ready for the OUCH when the injection entered my arm.
It hurt, but by the time I went through the front door to leave, so did the pain. What a temporary pain. This life, is temporary. We are on our pilgrimage now, thru a foreign land. We may encounter pain, from illness, disease, heartache, betrayal, false accusations, etc. but PRAISE GOD, This is temporary! He will get us through, keep your eyes on Him! Walk on water, don't sink. Jesus gives us HIS word, that He will never leave us nor forsake us, only follow Him. If we are not with Jesus, we are against Him. Even if we have daily pain, (and pain is painful) the good news is, one day, we will leave this land, and be with Him, where there is no more pain or disease. Thank you Lord for your loving kindness.
Lord, lead me, guide me, give me a willing heart to follow and not faint. Amen.
The Lord also has provided me with a new job. BIG SMILES and Thankfulness to Him. I start Monday, Jan. 3rd!
Tonight we will be gathering at a friends house for new years eve. Some friends (Dennis and Cindy)who sold their home and went full time to do mission work in Guatemala are here visiting. They will be giving a presentation about Guatemala and what they are doing there. I am SO excited to see them again.
Dennis has a blog, here's the address if anyone wants to check it out.

Monday I will be going to the bank to file a claim on the money lost on the counterfeit Rosetta Stone Spanish course. I'll keep you posted as to how that all turns out.
Our God is an Awesome God!
I pray each of you has a safe new years eve, and a blessed new year.
in His grace,
Kim

counterfits
It's now after Christmas and I hope everyone was able to spend time with their loved ones.
This life offers many counterfits in many forms:
Jesus is the one true son of the Living God. We know there is another that would mislead many into believing otherwise. The fruits of the Spirit have come up frequently for me in the last couple of days:
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.
The following are NOT the works of the Spirit:
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,
Gal 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit,
Gal 5:21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who
do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
A person is known by their fruits. The same of a business and it's reputation. Unfortunately there are those that would mislead and knowingly take advantage of people. They are counterfit - not of the Spirit, nor of God.
I used birthday/christmas, and bonus money to buy the Rosetta Stone Spanish lessons. It arrived on my birthday, I thought what great timing! I was so sick on that day, that I have waited until this morning to down load the program and "begin" to learn spanish for my missions trip. This is one of the foundational steps I am taking so I can communicate with the Guatemalans.
The downloading was taking along time, not following the guidlines per the instruction pamplet, and would not 'start' when I thought I was finally ready to 'start'........... drum roll please....... nothing!
I then called the #800 for assistance, after giving the gal on the phone my name, what I ordered, and that the package had come from overseas, she verified that I had NOT purchased my Rosetta Stone online from their website, but from an imposter website. So, she emailed me a letter stating I had been sold a counterfeit product with the hopes that the bank would somehow be able to reimburse me the money spent on it. I've called the bank and need to go in and file a claim. I will keep everyone updated as I find out how this progresses.
Thanking all of you for your continued prayers. Our God is in control and says to be Thankful in ALL things. Therefore, I am thanking God and watching to see how He works out the details of this new adventure in counterfit products.
in His grace,
Kim

~tests and trials~
Hi everyone;
I've been on the ill side for a few days. Wednesday I went to the Dr. they got me scheduled in quickly, even in quick from the waiting room, AND the PA (physicans assistant) came in quick... haha, well, my visit with the dr was 'to quick' too.... way to quick... I felt rushed in and out... oh well, just give me the antibiotics and I'm good to go... right?? Unfortunately, the prescription never made it to my pharmacy that day. (couldnt return to work until at least 24 hours on meds., great gotta miss another day of work) Thursday morning I called the pharmacy, nope not there yet, so I began an all day long trial dealing with the doctors office and mis-communication down to nit-wit personalities of people on the phone... Guess what else, Thursday was my birthday.. yep, happy birthday Kim... I had mixed emotions about this; being so sick, feeling frustrated with the Doctors office. By early after-noon I just wanted to 'give up' take the cough syrup and forget the antibiotics. I thought of Jesus, He had a birthday coming up too~ I thought of Him on the cross too~ (I just rewatched 'the passion of the Christ') WOW, and I am cranky over this? Jesus never said a harsh word out of 'self pride or justification'.
I also received the following daily devotional just prior to this experience. It's copied (in part) from Mike (Papi) from Casa on the Rock in Guatemala, an Orphanage I've been following for over 10 yrs. Here is what he says:
It is all about our thoughts & daily actions.
First, you need to realize that realizing why we have trials is half the battle. It is never because God wants to harm us. He wants to make us strong. He desires that we look to and only trust in Him. It is believing that “this too will pass” and “all things work together for the good”.
Second, it is necessary that perseverance is the key. Just do not QUIT. Keep walking through your problem. THROUGH is the word! Do not stop in the midst of the flames.
THIRD, Realize that God will always follow the trials with blessings if you are still standing in the end. Dottie and I have learned that HAPPINESS always follows SADNESS!
Forth, realize that your lifestyle will be one that only God can provide. It is caused ABUNDANT LIVING.
Fifth, and very important is that testing is similar to building a bridge. Years ago I learned that God NEVER puts a bridge over the river until you STEP ON the water.
Only by COMPLETING your final exam will you pass to the next level.
During the night last night, I realized that yesterday had been a test. I would say I failed. I felt frustrated, bitter and angry that "I" had to deal with the incompetence of a Doctors office. They get paid big bucks to be reliable... right???? maybe so~ but they are all human too. Big bucks does not change that. However, it did dawn on me that perhaps some light will be shed on the PA (physicans assistant) that caused the whole fiasco. I am not aware of the purpose other than perhaps teaching me PATIENCE and kindness when it is difficult to do so.
I Thank my God for His patience and kindness toward me and His Mercy and Grace too. (What a great example of these virtues He gave us)
To finish yesterdays story, at 5:30 pm a gal called from the Dr's office, and after clarifying some more details for her, she took my prescription request for a Z-pak ($15.50) (instead of an expensive antibiotic $186.00 the PA prescribed) to my regular Dr. and within 5 minutes, she corrected the entire days frustration! I had my medication at home and taken within 30 minutes of her phone call. WHEW~ what a relief!
Thank you ALL for your prayers, love and support.
In His grace,
Kim

Our God, the one who sees and provides
The Lord blessed me today. I am always AMAZED at His graciousness, gentleness and loving kindness! Yes, I cried as realization came upon me! THANK YOU FATHER for your guidence and perfect timing in ALL things!
Wanting to be obiediant to my Lord and His Word; I prayed about moving. I remember saying, "Lord I can't afford much" (ha, like He didn't already know that! silly me). A friend rented one of his houses to me for very little money, even though it was for sale. I told him, 'you know, in my world, I'll move in and the house will sell'. He assured me that the house had been on the market for 3 years and no-one had even looked at it. GUESS WHAT?? Two weeks after moving my stuff into the house, IT SOLD. haha, yes. SO~
So then, I contacted a local business to help me move my stuff into a storage building. They were so kind each time I spoke with the staff of this business, either by phone or in person. During one of the conversations over the phone, the lady on the other end of the phone revealed that it was going to be a smaller Christmas this year for her child. I stated I understood as how I had recently told my adult daughter that her and her husband would not be receiving much in the way of gifts since the majority of presents were for their kids, my grandkids. And we agreed it really was for the kids. (this conversation was 2 weeks ago)
Yesterday the Lord laid on me to give a certain amount of money to the lady I had talked to on the phone. He was persistant in the amount too. So~I went to the store and found 'thee card' ~ it even said something to the effect of how "God is your provider", so I looked up directions to the business and went to deliver the card and His gift to this lady.
~~with that being said, there are a few new folks at my church that I don't know. I have noticed a lady on the other side of the room during worship, she is up front worshiping the Lord. Again, I haven't met her, but noticed her. I try to introduce myself, but it seems people just leave so quickly after church that there is not enough time to visit with them and get to know one another. (or is it that I chat so much everyone else leaves before I get to them??? LOL)
So as I opened the front door, there sat the lady that I had seen at my church! (oh Lord, aren't you good!)
God reminded me that I do not know "all" things or HOW He will work things out, but TRUST HIM that HE WILL PROVIDE what is needed. I was so blessed for being obidient to Him, smiles, laughter and tears flowed.
PRAISE GOD IN THE HIGHEST!
In His Grace is the only place I want to be. My prayer is that I would be a willing vessel for Him to use for His good purpose.
Thank you to all who 'follow this blog' and read my updates. I am so blessed to be loved by so many brothers and sisters in the Lord!! :-)
in Him;

Blessed
I wanted to share what's been happening this week.
As the weather has been below freezing for at least a week, it's been challenging.
One morning we awoke to no water. Pipes frozen. They were fixed that evening. The next morning I was looking forward to a wonderful hot shower and washing my hair. After just a couple minutes in the shower I realized the water was cooling off quickly... yep cold water faucet was OFF... so I hurried and washed my hair.. THANKFUL to have clean hair.
That was 5 days ago. I am Thankful to have electricity to warm water on the stove in a LARGE pot. This has been my method of washing myself and my hair. This morning as I was washing my hair over the bathroom sink, I was again so thankful that 1. I had a heater in the bathroom to keep me warm, 2. that I had clean running water, 3. that I had a stove and electricity to warm that water, that I was able to clean my body and hair AT WILL. I thought of others that do not have this luxery. and yes a LUXERY even having to use a pot of water over the sink. My God is so good to me!!
I admit, I will absolutely appreciate the blessing of a hot shower when it is available to me again. (the water heater is being replaced today while I am at work).
Be blessed and know that our God is in charge. Remember Romans 8:28
"We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose."
It is always so amazing to me when I again realize what a wonderful God and Father we have that KNOWS what is BEST for us. If each of us would TRUST Him, REST in Him how He would bless us for His good pleasure. Just as we like to give to our kids, it gives us pleasure to bless them. So it is with God. He has blessed me with the ability to wash...
Have a wonderful day, see what good thing our Father does in your life today.
In His Grace,
Kim

reliance on Him
Good morning ~
It is a whopping 23 degrees on my porch! God is good, I have a warm home.
I wanted to share something that stood out to me this morning as I read "my utmost for His highest" by Oswald Chambers.
I am behind in my reading, yet right where I am suppose to be.. haha Reading from December 14
"The Great Life"
"Peace I leave with you, My peace Igive unto you: Let not your heart be troubled" John 14:27
(copied in part)
Whenever you obey God, His seal is always that of peace...... If you are acting on an impulse, or from a sense of the heroic, the peace of Jesus will not witness: Every decision brings a reaction of simplicity.
My questions come whenever I cease to obey. When I have obeyed God, the problems never come between me and God, they come as probes to keep the mind going on with amazement at the revelation of God. Any problem that comes between God and myself, springs out of disobedience; any problem that is alongside me while I obey God, increases my ecstatic delight, becasue I know that my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this thing."
That is how I feel about this missions trip to Guatemala. I have never gone on a missions trip, have never planned one, This is ALL new to me. I watch as HE provides, guides and leads. WOW....
Yesterday He revealed to me, 'you do not know what I have planned for you'.... Shortly after I was notified of a very large sponsorship toward this missions trip. PRAISE GOD.
I AM EXCITED to watch and see how He works out the details. PLease continue to pray I would be soft clay in His hands, that He can mold me into a "good vessel to be used for His good purpose".
Thank you all for your prayers, and loving support as I learn and prepare to go.
may His grace abound to you this day;
in Him,
Kim

God provides
It is a cold chilly day here in NC. I thank my God for His provisions of a warm home with plenty of food. He is so wonderful towards me, His child. My thoughts and prayers are with those who are not in a warm home and/or are hungry.
I wanted to bring everyone up to date on what's happening.
Let's see: The Hepatitis A & B shot has 3 shots to the series. I went to the Hendersonville Health Dept. and received the first of the three. It was realitively easy! Went in, signed some paperwork, paid, sat down and was immediately called in. The nurse did an excellent job of sticking me with the needle. I didn't feel a thing UNTIL the shot was injected into my body... OWWWEEE ! The nurse and I had a laugh over that... because I was just beginning to tell her what a great job she did NOT hurting me.. haha I go back Dec. 29 for shot #2.
My passport has been updated. That went real smoothly also.. Praise God.
I've been looking at the Rosetta Stone spanish course, I have heard good reviews from people I know plus read some on testamonials on their facebook page. I believe Spanish will benefit me in Guatemala and in general. My mom and dad sent birthday and Christmas money, plus I recevied a bonus check from work, together they just about cover the cost of the Rosetta Stone spanish program. So that is my present to myself this year (from God) :-)
I also am THANKFUL to God for my daughter, and the blessings of her 3 sons, my grandsons.
I've been wrapping Christmas gifts to them in preparation to mail tomarrow. (God is so good to provide to me, that I may give gifts to them)
Thank you all for following along and most of all, for your prayers.
"To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen" 2 Peter 3:18 (in part)

a new day
What a learning experience! I just spent some time writing here, then suddenly; my screen blinked white, and my unposted blog was gone...... hemmm~
So, starting over;
I am very thankful for my prayer partners that lift me and the missions trip up to our Lord. Each day is a new day, a new learning experience and I seek the Lords understanding and to grow in Him as I prepare to go.

The beginning
Today I begin the first Blog I have ever written.
Let me start by saying that I am a Born Again Christian that believes the Bible is the Word of God. I believe that He shares who He is in His Word. I believe that Jesus is the Word made flesh, born of a virgin, the son of the one true living God. I believe He died on the cross for my sins, rose 3 days later and now sits at the right hand of God.
God has blessed me with a beautiful daughter that is also my friend, a son-in-law that loves my daughter. I have three precious grandsons to love.
Recently I have been accepted to join a group from PA. on a Missions trip to Guatemala in Aug of 2011, nine months from now. This will be my first missions experience. As I have been making preparations "to go" I am learning lessons. (a constant in my life) So, I thought it would be good to blog, I guess for anyone who is interested in seeing how God is working in the life of an ordinary woman that wants to serve Him.
I am not without fault, I stumble, I fall, but Praise His Name, He is there to pick me up, set me on my feet, and dust me off so I can again stand in Him. He is a lovingly gentle teacher.
9 months is what it takes to give birth to new life. I believe God has a new life in store for me and the missions trip is the birth of that new life. Join me as I learn and grow in Him;
Blessings,
Kim
