I am humbled by your thoughtfulness!

You all just floor me. I have 3 awards to receive and give away today. Every time I receive one of these I think, "Are you sure you got the right blog? LOL." Thank you all for reading my blog and contributing to it with your wonderful comments. A lot of times your comments are more entertaining then my actual post lol. I love the women that this blog has attracted. It just goes to show that I'm not the only one out there that has a weird sense of humor, loves the Lord, and has kids that can and do drive them nuts. The blogs I follow are so different and yet similar in so many ways. But I could go on and on about you guys but I have to give away these 3 awards and I need to try and do it right and do them justice. So here it goes.

This first one came from flmom @ The Narrow Path. Thank you so much for this. Flmom is probably one of the most real bloggers I know. She doesn't sugar coat a bad day and I love reading about her gardening and homeschooling projects. Now if you would just tell me your first name lol.

  6. Congrats. on all those awards. You deserve each and every one of them. You have such a fun and lovely blog.

    Funny, Debra gave me the Marie Antoinette award too, and although I saw that she gave it to you, I fully intended to give it to you as well. Now, I will reference both of you when I post this award.

    Thanks so much. And how did you like my spiritual lessons from the oven?! Truly a goof, I know.

    Love in Christ,
    patti

  7. Awwwwwwww ... you're so sweet! I know some people haven't appreciated my being so "real" sometimes. Oh well. Life's not perfect and neither am I. I thought I had told you, but I must have forgotten - my name is easy to remember because it's the same as yours!

  9. Kim, You are so sweet! Thank you for the award and wanting to share them with us. You are very encouraging and always have just the write things to share - to make us laugh and leave with a smile.

    I just read your post below about the oven cleaning trick - good idea. I don't like that whole self cleaning mode either - our one oven in the last house almost caught on fire through that cycle. And I don't even cook in it more than a few times a year!

    Hugs and thank you again! Truly humbled you choose me and my blog!

    Love,
    Jill

  11. Oh my goodness,
    This is my first award. Thankyou so much. You made me cry. (Ok my kids say I cry at everything) But that was so sweet. I need to thank my family for allowing me to blog and be real with what goes on in our home. It is funny, when something happens the first thing they do is say "mamam, you aren't going to blog this are you?" And just today something happened (hint check out my blog tomorrow) I ran inside and my two oldest boys sighed and said "she's getting the camera"

    Thankyou so much for thinking of me as I am so new to blog land.

    In HIS Keeping,
    Mrs.B

    PS how do you add that cute siggy to the end of each blog???

  16. Sister Kim,

    I think it's having kids that give us all a weird sense of humor! HA! I really think God uses children to teach us to just chill out, enjoy what He's given us, trust Him and relax! I'm so thankful that my kids have made me nuts for Christ!

    CONGRATULATIONS on all your awards! I'm so excited for you!

    I'm sooooo enjoying getting to know you better!

    Love you sister, sister!
    Sunny
