Dear Hanes…

October 2, 2010

Dear Hanes, I just wanted to let you know how happy my feet have been this week! After all the walking and talking and having a blast at Type-A-Mom conference last weekend, my feet needed a little extra love. Plus, fall decided to come to the mountains and I really needed socks! The last person […]

I am going to the Type-A blog conference. This week. I can’t believe it. I am not ready and for the most part don’t even know how to get ready. I have checked out the site, printed off my ticket, looked at the site blog conferences for newbies, forgotten to twitter, became a fan on […]

I see you.

September 18, 2010

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see. I see. I see you. I am forgiven. I love because He first loved me. Why do you love?

life in these NC mountains…

September 16, 2010

It may happen like this everywhere, but I love life in these NC mountains! David came home from work telling me about the computer guys that come in for coffee some (okay, maybe more than some…). Turns out they are developing and setting up wireless internet for people who live in the mountains. COOL. Because […]

Introspecting

September 2, 2010

I love in the Sherlock Holmes books that Sherlock Holmes likes Introspecting. I am not sure that is an actual word, but it is something I rather like to do as well. Yet, in the hurry and scurry of the world….I forget. Until I am reminded…because I feel like screaming. Or crying. Or both at […]

Words…

You know, sometimes….it happens, I just run out of things I want to write. I know, for those of you who KNOW me, you wonder…is it truly possible for Kym to ever not have something to say??? Well, yes and no. Lots of things are popping around in my heart and head these days, but […]

Why wouldn’t we?

July 2, 2010

I seem to be posting a lot of videos lately. This one is long, but explains some of the very same reasons/excuses we had for not having kids….and then we realized they were all selfish. God has provided RICHLY for our family. Each day we have enough to eat, a place to sleep, and plenty […]

Dangerous Women

May we be dangerous women.
May we be women who acknowledge our power to change, and grow, and be radically alive in God.
May we be healers of wounds and righters of wrongs.
May we weep with those who weep and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
May we cherish children, embrace the elderly, and empower the poor.
May we pray deeply and teach wisely.
May we be strong and gentle leaders.
May we sing songs of joy and talk down fear.
May we never hesitate to let passion push us , conviction propel us, and righteous anger energize us.
May we strike fear into all that is unjust and evil in the world.
May we dismantle abusive systems and silence lies with truth.
May we shine like stars in a darkened generation.
May we overflow with goodness in the name of God and by the power of Jesus.
And in that name, and by that power, may we change the world.
