Journey of Discovery: September 2008
http://kimmers411.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
So I can't help but wonder if I am being especially picky, or is it a good thing to be so choosey when it comes to finding a new church home. I am also a bit frustrated how things can look so good "on paper" (or websites in this twenty first century) yet seem a bit lacking in reality. But I am finding this harder in reality to do than it is to say. This process is making me realize two very specific things. first, it is showing me how good I had it in Virginia. It is making me realize how much I ...The p...

My Children Are Driving Me Crazy! For now, I think I'll settle for a long bubble bath. and a razor to shave my horribly hairy legs. Yesterday, my family of five (along with Grandma and Grandpa) loaded up the minivan at 7am to head off on a three and a half hour car ride to The Creation Musuem (just outside of Cincinnati, Oh in Northern Ky.). It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through that part of the country on any long trip. (They even have. How was the ark built?

Italics added by me). But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Anyway, one of the words God gave me about my trip to Virginia was confidence. I don't know if I would consider it a "life verse", but I know I want to be like tha...

A Good Servant of Christ Jesus". part 2. I like what Paul says here. Throw yourself into your task so that everyone will see your progress. Keep a close watch on how you live and your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you. The main focus the the sermon yesterday at church was. "It's not about me! It is amazing how He works! A Good Servant of Christ Jesus".part 1. We allow ourselves to get so wrapped up in stuff that really has no t...

I am a very selfish, self centered person. And I have a deep problem with PRIDE. I have come to a very important conclusion. I am selfish and self centered because I do not have enough Jesus in me. Well, He is there, don't get me wrong. But I block Him out each and every time I make a choice to follow my will and to focus on myself instead of Him. I do love to help others and give to others. but am I doing it for Jesus? Matthew 23:12 (New Living Translation). But those who exalt themselves will be humble...

Today is Picnic in the Park. and the beginning of my new cake ministry. This month, though, I did not need to make a lot of cake because we will be serving a Thanksgiving meal with lots and lots of pie. So I made a few pumpkin pies, and about a quarter of the cake that is normally needed. I wanted to make sure there was at least a little, because there most likely will be some November birthdays to celebrate. I finally got around to the cake about 3pm. Originally I wanted to do a turkey cake, but now...

Or should I say, my thumb! CAUTION.graphic content. if you get whoozy hearing about bloody medical problems, you may not wish to continue reading. SoLast night I was using a very sharp serrated knife to level a still somewhat frozen cake. Usually I level a cake before freezing, but as you may remember from my last post, the afore mentioned mouse in my kitchen caused the sudden need for cakes to be placed in safe and secure places. like the freezer. And a tetanus shot. YUCK! I am thankful that no greater ...

Have We Lost the Art of Neighborly Love? But as I grew into adulthood and moved off on my own, most of the time I didn't really ever get to know my neighbors. I had social anxieties that stopped me from being friendly with people until my hardened outer shell had been sufficiently cracked. I made my famous potato soup and tried out a new pumpkin cheesecake recipe. I even had to borrow some sugar from my other neighbor for my bread since I used the last of mine in the cheesecake. She commented on ...One o...

Hear me as I pray, O LORD. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk to me.". And my heart responds, "LORD, I am coming.". How often do you pray? I mean, really pray? The word tells us to pray without ceasing. We should be talking to God ALL the time. We should be turning to Jesus and asking for His help. We should consult Him first before making big decisions, pray for the lost around us, praise and worship our Lord through our communications with Him. This is not a mental ch...

Hey Everybody. I am trying to win a book. so check out Jessica's Romantic Giveaway on her blog Intense Blessings. And you could be my competition! It's fitting that the request was to share our love story, cause my husband and I are participating in a "Love Dare/Fireproof Your Marriage" group, and we have been asked a couple of times to share our story. how we met. He immediately said something funny and twisted, and we hit it off right away. Everyone should be so blessed as to find a spouse as wonderful...
