I love the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks. Here's a line from it.
It's going, it's going, and it's gone. Oh, whatever! Maybe we should take a break. Ouch! (Theodore falls out of the tree.)
Grace
OK...Grace's birthday is next Sunday and we are still trying to decide what to do. My parents are coming to my sister's on Saturday so we could do a party with the family, but even then the whole what & where has to be decided. Grace wants an American Idol party or Alvin & the Chipmunks. The problem is I really don't want to have to put much effort into this. She also wants to do something with her friends which means more planning. However, all I want is to lay on the couch. Must children have a major birthday party every year? I love to celebrate, especially with cake, but it seems like such a chore this year. We've also discussed taking a couple of her friends to see Prince Caspian when it comes out instead of a party. I'm leaning toward that right now. We'll see....

Ramblings
One day at work I had a situation come up that was somewhat overwhelming to me. It had been a terrible week and for whatever reason I was just feeling blah. After a discussion with a fellow employee I just fell apart. It put me way over the edge. As I went back to the office the only thing going through my mind was "I need a word from the Lord." I kept thinking that over and over...so I googled it. I put in "word from the Lord" and this is what came up.
We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you. II Chronicles 20:12b NIV
Is that not perfect! Exactly what I needed! How many times are we in a place where we do not know what to do or how to fix whatever problem is facing us? The good news is we don't have to. Throughout my cancer ordeal last year, God reminded me of Romans 8:28:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
When we look at those two verses together, we can be assured that God is working things out for our good and our job is just to keep our eyes fixed on Him. When we can do that, He will bring us sweet peace. He is so good!

What a wonderful day!
First I went to breakfast with my best friend and she had a massage chair. She let me sit in it. This afternoon we are going to the movies together with our other friend to see Nim's Island. This is going to be an awesome day! I heard it was a really good movie. Fluffy (my bunny) says "Hi." I just spent a whole hour trying on my summer clothes...not fun! Oh, well...that's all. BYE!

My dear, sweet Drama Queen
I have been given permission from Grace to post the following conversation which happened the night after her colonoscopy/endoscopy.
Kimberly: Grace, you did so well, and just think really the only thing that will change is that you cannot eat popcorn anymore.
Grace (as she begins to sob): But, Mama I love popcorn!
Kimberly: Grace you hardly ever eat it.
Grace (still crying): But, Mama, now I'll never get married.
Kimberly: What in the world are you talking about?
Grace: Well, you know when you are at the movies with a boy and you both reach for popcorn, and your hands accidentally touch and you fall in love...that will never happen to me now!
Kimberly (laughing): Grace, you hands can touch while you're reaching for Twizzlers. And, anyway that's not how you fall in love. Someday a boy will fall in love with you because you are beautiful inside and out, you're smart and you love Jesus with all your heart. That's why someone will fall in love with you.
It was one of the most precious moments in our life! I smile every time I think of it.

Amazing Grace
I've been thinking about Easter and the movie the Passion of Christ. I am overwhelmed whenever I think of the incredible love that God has for us. To send His one and only Son, to die such a horrific death...for me. Can one even put into words what that kind of love means? It speaks to me at such depths, I can't even begin to explain it. It moves me to such great emotions. Think about it, "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." That anyone would think so highly of me...Amazing...so utterly amazing.
Grace asked me why all of my blogs talk about God. I explained that I talk about her as well, to which she replied, "Yeah, and God." How can she understand that I can no more separate my life from God than I can stop breathing. I hope someday, she will understand completely. That is my prayer for her this Easter, that she will know the depth of God's love for her.
In Christ Alone,
Kimberly

Easter at Grandma's
Hi. We got to Grandma's yesterday. My cousin Kassidi and me wanted to sleep over but we couldn't because tomorrow is Easter. Today we had an Easter egg hunt with my other cousins, Madison and Andrew. I've also had a good time with my brothers.
Happy Easter!
Grace
Happy Easter!

A New Day
From Grace:
Hi, I just got up and last night my mom and dad said I could be their boss for 2 hours and 10 minutes. Well, that's all I wanted to tell you. Bye.
From Kimberly:
Yes, we did agree that Grace could boss us for 2 hours and 10 minutes (great negotiating). We promised that if she took her medicine then that would be her reward. She did and so at some point today Grace gets to play the role of parent. Should be fun. :o) I'll let you know how it goes.
