God is creating something new.....

Lisa from Extravagant Grace just let me know that I won a bloggy make over from her 500th post Party! How exciting is that! She asked me if I wanted it since I am taking a bloggy break and the future of my blog is uncertain! Well I said yes because this is what I am thinkin': God is taking me and my blog in a different direction! He wants it to be all about Him! He wants me to stop thinking about me and all the things that so easily entangle me and be about His work! So as I pray (just like I've been doing), I will continue to pray for his guidance and leadership as I work with Lisa to put this new blog together! How exciting is that!! Did I say that already?!!! I am so excited to see what the future holds! Maybe and rightly so I will blog only to Him, then I believe I will be satisfied!!!

Thanks Lisa! I never thought I would win something like this, and I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

I love coming home to surprises! When their good of course!

And this one is good! A couple of weeks ago Hope at Monkey Giggles had a give-away, and I was the lucky winner! Well my gift just arrived in the mail. Here is a picture of what awaited me when I got home from errands:

What is in the basket you ask? A Terry Covered Bath Pillow, a bar of Chocolate Scented Soap, A chocolate scented Candle, Chocolate Silk hand and body lotion, Bath salts, and for the topper - a coupon for a box of Fiber One Bars FREE! Now those who know me well know I love my Fiber One Bars! Some say the cause G*s, and that very well may be, but I love them for a mid day snack. So Patty beware I'm stocking up on the Fiber One bars!!!!!

Thanks Hope for having this giveaway!!!!

Looky what I won at the Bloggy Carnival!

Our pastor's wife told me about this study a couple of years ago, just when it came out! She thought specifically of me when she heard about it. We haven't done the study at church and I haven't had the gumption to go anywhere else to do Bible study then with my wonderful Bible study partners of the past few years. But who can resist the Bloggy Carnival when it comes around! I was over at Chrysalis and thought boy that would be great to win, and looky looky!

Thanks so much E-Mom! I so appreciate the encouragement I receive when I visit your blog, and this little treasure is awesome too!

A Double Blessing.......

WOW you go to bed and you never know what's going to happen.....

1st of all I'm a winner!!!!!! I know, I know you're all thinking "we're all winners Kim, we know Christ"! Well yeah that's very true, but I'm mean I won something!!!!! Well not me but Bekah. Linda over at Mocha with Linda had a give away for a Tween Pocket Bible (pictured below) and I won it!!!! Linda is such a great bloggy friend! Here book reviews are awesome! They make me wish I had more time to read! I have quite a list growing of good books! Thank you Linda!

The next cool thing is I got the "your blog is fabulous award" from E-Mom over at Chrysalis

I can just hear it screaming "Your fabulous Darling!!!" can't you! Look it's even got the Champmister on it too!!! I need to list 5 things I'm "addicted" too and give the award away to 5 other "fabulous bloggers". (Now let's not be thinking what isn't she addicted too O.K.!) Thanks E-Mom! You most definitely are a Fabulous blogger!!!

Here goes with the addictions:

1. Fountain pop - you know the kind you get from the machines at the gas stations. No canned or bottled pop for me! Must be Fountain pop!


2. Coffee - Especially my new favorite - Country comfort! The only bummer is the coffee shop that sells it, is going out of business. But never fear I asked them where it was from and they said a place that is really close by! YEAH road trip to Spring Lake anyone!!!


3. Blogging - of course you are all so much fun to get to know!


4. Our Family Adventures - I love going on little adventures with our family. Just like the one we took here to Ludington on a snowy Sunday afternoon!


5. Lighthouses - love them! The one at Silver Lake is my favorite. The kids call it mine! I hope to someday get to the one in Minnesota, at the far end of Lake Superior!


6. Oh hold it I have 6 - STONES - how could I forget!!!! Lake Superior reminded me! I am addicting to stones from the Lake Superior shore line!!! But I will except stones as gifts from other areas! I love that people think of me when they see stones! Well not to be stoned by stones (as in stoning for my bad deeds!) but my love for stones!

Deborah over at Comfort Joy Designs - We met at the Praise and Coffee down in Plainwell. She was here visiting family all the way from Australia! I'm glad I got to know her that night!

Linda from Mocha with Linda - and no it's not because of the cool prize I won! She's fabulous any ole' time!

Diane over at My Journey's Path - Diane is my Forever Friend, which is literal because we will be spending eternity together! She is also my sista!!!!!

Cheryl over at Your Friend Cheryl - My awesome friend from the south!

Kathy at Blessed Builder - I love her style! Her home and shop are just beautifully decorated all the time!

Last but not least, this one is for you E-Mom! See that lady wasn't so strange!
