just some ramblings!

At many times during the day I have several thoughts run through my mind that I would love to blog on but by the time I'm able to blog I've forgotten them. I think I need to try and write them down so I can blog about them. One of the things that has hit me several times the past few weeks is.... Someone I know has "Be Intentional" as their status on Aim. Each time I see it, I think about how can I "Be Intentional", and what exactly does it mean. Well to "Be Intentional" can mean several things, but I really take it to mean that we should take care in all that we do and do everything with meaning and to make sure that we put Jesus first in all that we do and do everything for HIS Glory. I must admit I don't come anywehre near being Intentional in what I do.

Another thing is would you continue to pray for little Reagan, she is 3 weeks old today and still has some moments. Her father posted an awesome prayer today I encourage you to go read it. Here's the link to their blog again. http://reaganoliviawinslow.blogspot.com/ .

Maybe more tomorrow! Goodnight! :)

What a week!

Whew! This past week has been very busy for me. I'm going to try and quickly recap and not be too detail oriented on most days.

Monday, I had my four month follow up with Dr. Schwartz and everything was good. He did do a CBC (complete blood count) and my WBC(white-blood count) was elevated, we're not sure why. He said it could be a couple of different things, i'm fighting an infection i didn't know about or could of been stress from the nurse drawing my blood, it took her 4 sticks to get enough blood for all the tests he was doing. I'm not sure of what it was, but he also said he didn't have anything to do with my lymphoma. I go back in 4 monts for my next follow-up. After my appointment I spent the rest of the day with Rob, KC, and WIll in their hospital room. I got to babysit Will, while Rob and KC took a nap. I went and got us supper from Chic-fil-a and then came home a little later.

Tuesday was my Monday at work, but wasn't too bad. Rob and KC finally got to take Will home from the hospital. I know they were so excited to get home! After work I had my perspectives class at church. Then I came home and went pretty much directly to bed.

Wed. wasn't too bad, I worked and then went by the hospital to meet a friend who was one of my favorite Care Partners from when I was in the hospital who had some things for Rob and KC. Then mom and I came home to a home cooked meal. Aww it was so delicious! I then pretty much rested because my leg was bothering me from the rain, it was feeling much better when I went to bed. :)

Thursday, wasn't too bad either. After work mom and I went straight to Salisbury to meet dad, they were going to stay with Rob and Will, while KC and I went to a 31 party, its different bags, and storage things for your home. It was a neat thing, KC is having a party in May! I stayed the night with Rob and KC. Friday, I stayed at Rob and KCs til 1 or so then left and drove around Salisbury looking for a calculator for my Business Finance class. I then got some ice cream from Cold Stone and lunch from Zaxby's both which were very delicious!! Mom cooked steaks for supper.

That brings us to this lovely day! Mom and I went to target earlier today with plans of going to Rob and KCs later in the day which later we found out was for supper with the rest of KC's family as well.. We had Easter dinner and also celebrated KC's 30th bday, which is tomorrow!!! Happy Bday KC... Rob will you tell her that! Now I'm here writing this. I did start my next 8 weeks of classes this week. I did start off a little behind, but I am catching up and intend to stay on top of things! Well, its bed time so I will write more maybe tomorrow.. have a good night!

The only Thing Good in Me....

I heard this song the other day and loved it. I like to say that "It's Jesus in Me'' when people say something about me and I think that totally describes why I say that.
The song is "The only Thing Good in ME" by Michael English

Enjoy!

I heard someone say the other day
They’d seen in me true love displayed
Blessed by something I had done for them
No sooner did they speak those words
I found myself somehow disturbed
Uneasy as I took their compliment
‘Cause I know the heart inside this man
I know the truth of who I am

[Chorus] The only thing that’s good in me is Jesus
The only thing that’s good in me is Jesus
I’ve lived long enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that’s good in me is Jesus

If you could walk the hallways of my heart
And see things as they really are
I wonder if you might be surprised
Seeing faded walls of pride and fear
Rooms I’ve filled with faithless tears
And corners where I’ve stood in compromise
But you’d see the work His grace has done
You’d know just how far I’ve come

[Chorus]

In a thousand years
When the dust of this world clears
And I look back on my life
And see in perfect light

"Making it Right"

This week has been a stressful week for several different reasons, but thankfully the week is over and turned out to be better than it started.

As most of you know I have decided to go back to school and get my bachelor's since I goofed off when I was younger and only got my Associate's degree, I did receieve two associates for the record. Anyway, before I found out I had cancer I was attending UNC-Charlotte, and I had a loan to help pay for it. The loan of course wouldn't have to be paid til I was finished or wasn't in shcool, well I was able to take a six month deferment and then I started at Liberty and the loan was deferred again, b/c I was in school. I decided to take a quarter off and start back in March at Liberty. Well last Friday I recieved a letter that my deferment had ended and that I needed to make a payment. Well with the craziness of the week, I wasn't able to call. They called me on Tuesday and I returned their call. Come to find out that I needed to make a payment of $100 and that it had been reported on my CREDIT. Well I was quite furious when they said that. Anyway long story short, I found out it hadn't been reported on my credit and that if I made the payment all would be find. Well I was very rude to the lady I was talking to. She was at no point rude to me and was as helpful as she could be I just didn't understand why it had taken them so long to contact me because I was 2 months past due. So that just made my Tuesday afternoon bad, b/c I was in a BAD mood. Partly b/c i felt guilty because of how rude I had been and just because it just irritated me of not being notified of this situation sooner. Well, Tuesday night at Perspectives, the speaker was talking about making things right, and I knew that some how I had to call and apologize to this lady for being so rude. On, Wed. I called to make sure that my loan was paid off and see if I could talk to the same lady I had talked to the day before, and I was able to speak to her and said I needed to apologize for being so rude to you yesterday, and she was very shocked that I called her back and almost started to cry I believe. When I got off the phone I felt so relieved and so happy that I did decide to call and Make it Right! Now, I challenge you is there something that you need to make right with someone else? I urge you to take of that ASAP!!

Mom's birthday was Friday and we went out thursday night for her bday, it was a lot of fun!

I also ask that you be in prayer for a friend of a friend, she had her baby at 24 weeks this past sunday. Here is the link to their blog. http://reaganoliviawinslow.blogspot.com/ for more information on little Reagan.

I hope all have a great weekend!!

Kim :)
