What I'm Thankful for!

Well I said yesterday that I would post what I'm thankful for. So here goes! I don't really have to think about this very hard. I have so much to be thankful for, I'm sure I'll forget something or someone. If I do I am very very sorry!!

~My salvation
~an amazing set of parents who love Jesus and me despite of the stuff I put them through, they have been by my side every day since I was born, and I truly can't thank them enough 2 years ago, really showed me how much they loved me and made me realize that.
~my brother, sister n law, and will. Rob and KC have been there for me a lot and are always supportive of me, and Will! I can't thank the Lord enough for this precious gift He has given our family. I can't wait to watch Will grow up and love the Lord with all that is in him!
~My Aunt Faye! What an inspiration this lady is. In her life she has been through so much, but has held on to her faith with all that she has, and I know that's what has gotten her through. She was with me through every step of my fight with Cancer, and I can't thank her enough for her love for me, and ALL that she has done for me to help me out!
~ The rest of my family who love me unconditionally!
~ My extended family the Wisemans (KC's family) . It's amazing how well we all get along that we can spend the holidays together!
~My Church family, what would I do with out you guys supporting me in prayer and with your love, I don't know another church who is as supportive as you are! Jesus shines through you! He uses you in ways that you could never know.
~ A job that I truly do enjoy! I'm glad that I have a job with the economy like it is.
~ Shelter, food, and the necessities of life!
~ Almost two years of great health. You know the Bible says that God will never put on us more than we can handle, and I can testify to this. I never would of thought that I could deal with having cancer, but you know what I did and it is ONLY because of His GRACE! God's grace is AMAZING, if you don't believe just look around!

You know there are days that I complain because I don't have this or that, but you know I have all that I need and that is JESUS. I pray that I would live my life a little more like that.


I leave you with a favorite praise song that I learned at camp o so long ago! Enjoy!

The Nation's Capital!

For those who didn't know I'm in Washington DC siteseeing and visiting with a family friend (Kenny and Nancy) . I had never been to DC and wanted to come and found a decent priced flight so I planned a trip! So it's finally here!

I got up Sat morning @ 4:15 in order to be at the airport by 5:30 for my flight @ 6:30. I then had a 2 hour layover in Atlanta, and then on to DC. I landed right around 11:20, and met our friend Kenny then we drove around the city and around the city.. We ate at Hard Rock Cafe and then drove around some more and up to Lincoln's cottage, but didn't get to see it because it was closed. We are going to try to go back on Tuesday. We did go to the National Catherdral and that was absolutely AMAZING. It's huge. We made it back to Kenny's about 7:30 or so.

Today we left about 10 and headed into the city, and went to the Holocaust museum. The Museum was quite breathtaking. I am still kind of speechless about it, my thoughts on that later. We then went and ate at Phillips a seafood buffet. After lunch we went to Jefferson memorial, then iwo jema, and drove by the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Memorial, Arlington National Cemetary and the Pentagon. We are going to all of those tomorrow, and I will be riding the Subway for the 1st time. Then we are going to ride the tour mobile thing. I'll get back to you on all of that later.

So far I love DC and it is BEAUTIFUL with all the leaves changing. I could see them from the plane and took some pictures.

Now time to spend some time with my friends!

Another good check up!

Well today was a busy day for me with Doctor's appointments and all. Thankfully the both went well. I had my yearly physical and bloodwork, and will know those results within a week or so... When I left there, I went and voted, then to the Ford dealership, and the insurance place, and to get gas. Once I got home I called and registered for my spring classes, and then watched a movie. I just relaxed for awhile and then headed off to my 4 month follow up oncology appointment with Dr. Schwartz. It went great! No new developments since the last time, and pretty much says that I'm doing great! I was his only well patient today. I am very thankful every time I go and have a good check up. I go back in 4 more months!

One more good thing from today is I have lost 31 of the 75 lbs that I want to loose! I am well on my way to my goal of being a healthier thinner Kim!!

I would also like to mention this too. Doug said this Sunday night in his sermon and it really made me thing about how sovereign our God is! "God will never allow any action against you that is not in accord with his will for you. And his will is always directed to our good. Why then do we suffer such disappointment when the hoped for favor that we needed from another person doesn't materialize? Why do we struggle with resentment and bitterness when someone else's decision or action adversely affects us? Is it not because it is our plans that have been dashed or our pride that has been wounded?Deut.29:29" We have to remember on this night of the election that we have to trust that God is completely in control no matter who wins the election.

I hope everyone has a good one! I'll be back next week, I'm leaving Sat. morning going to Washington DC for the weekend, please keep me in your prayers that I have a safe trip!

Be Unto Your Name

The past few weeks have been pretty busy for me. This past weekend was great! Rob, KC, and Will came over Sat. for breakfast then we hung out at the house for a little bit. Then Mom, KC, Will, and I went shopping at Linen's N Things, Babies-R-Us. We met Dad and Rob at Lowe's to pick out new carpet and counter tops finally! Dad has been saying for like 5 yrs we are getting new carpet and FINALLY we are! Mom and I then went to Walmart and by the hospital to see Kendra working on 3J. I then just relaxed after supper!

Today was church, and it was a great day! This morning Doug preached on Romans 12:1 "1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship." Very good, and made me think about some things in my life that I need to give to the Lord.

We sang a song tonight that I really liked, and think this should be all of our prayers. It's
"Turn my Heart, O Lord."
(Chorus)
Turn my hear, O Lord
Like rivers of water
Turn my heart, O Lord by Your hand
'Til my whole life flows
In the river of Your Spirit
And my name brings honor to the Lamb

Lord, I surrender to Your work in me
I rest my life within Your loving hands.

Enjoy the week!
Oh yea, I go for my 4 month follow up on Tues, i'll let you know how it goes!

Til then!
