Hello everyone, again.
I know it is a miracle that I am writing this much and so soon.
But, my Uncle passed on this morning around 5 a.m. It has been a very long day. The nurses got us all up when he was about to pass, so we were all there with him. Everyone did pretty good, because we had all told him our good byes and told him to go on now. The hardest part was when they took him out of the house. That's when the finality really set in.

So pray for our family since this is also the one year annviversery of the murder of their granddaughter and my cousins only child.

Thank you all and I will keep you all updated again.

Don't forget about "kimskrusaders" - donations or team member. :) hurry, hurry, hury!!!

Hello Everyone!
I am down in Atlanta now. I got down here like that race where you hand off the baton. One person took me to Athens, TN; they then took me to Dalton, GA where we met the third person who took me on to my Aunt's house. It was kinda fun.
They got my uncle home. He is in a hospital bed in the living room. The nurses are all great. We just had one at night at first, then realized that we couldn't do it by ourselves during the day, so we have two more who are sharing day shifts. They started today and are very nice too.
Continue to pray for my uncle and the rest of the family. He's having a lot of pain and can't get good rest. Pray for my aunt as well, she's having a really hard time excepting that this is it.
I sit with him a lot and we have good talks. The nurses said to try to keep him talking as much as possible, because he wants to sleep so much he could slide into acoma. They said even if he is asleep, wake him up and make him talk to you. So, were doing pretty good. Getting into a rythm now - still working on that though, but getting better.

ALSO, I need your help still with Race for the Cure. Continue to sign people up and get donations. I'm very behind in donations. Remember, big companies want to give, but if they're not asked, they don't know who to give to. We need to join together as a team and work hard to make this the best year yet!!! I know we all can do it. Thanks for your help so far.

I'll keep you all informed.

I found this in a book I'm reading today by Anne Graham Lotz called "Life is . . . Just Better . . . with Jesus"
She says "He(Jesus) is the foundation on which we build our lives . . . the Rock on which we stand. His faithfulness is new every morning and fresh every evening. Eternity will not be enough time to thank Him for Who He is and what He has done - for you - and for me."
Amen?

I wanted to update everyone on my Uncle. His liver seems to be shutting down more, but they are going to go ahead and send him home and get a nurse to stay 24/7. I got to talk to him on the phone yesterday. I was so excited, because I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to talk to him before he went home to be with the Lord. We had a good talk. He would ask me things 2 or 3 times, but that's okay. He would make jokes. I told him I was coming down there as soon as I could, probably next week. He said good, we can just lay around and watch movies together. I said that sounded great to me. I pray that gets to happen, but if not God has a much better plan.
Continue to pray for my Aunt Polly, Nancy & Jack, and Alan as they go through this. Pray especially for Alan's salvation.

Continue to tell everyone you see to sign up for my team for Race for the Cure!!! kimskrusaders. I think that's how you have to put it in to find it, with no spaces and lower cases. But if not, just put my name in. Donations are not great either. We are definitely still behind on that. But thanks so much for helping me with this and praying for my family and I will keep you all updated.

I'm supposed to have some friends come visit me this weekend ~ and I am SO EXCITED!! If only the rest of the gang were coming too, it would be like old times. Me beating Celeste in card games. That was just so much fun. he,he,he, Just kidding - she always won.
Better run for now - talk soon,
Love and blessings

Hey Everybody!!! I'm Back!

Sorry it has been so long since I have written anything. Between Dr.'s appointments; scans; writing notes and letters; and more dr.'s appointments and more scans - it is hard to find time to concentrate on the computer. But don't stop writing or emailing -- I love gettting them -- just remember, it may take me a while to return the note. Hearing from people helps me to feel still apart of something besides the sick world.
And now I'm getting ready for the RACE FOR THE CURE again. I can't believe it has already been a year. This year will be my 5th year. That is a big milestone for those fighting breast cancer. But if you can make it to 5 years or longer then you have a better chance at beating this thing. There are still a few spots left in my head, but they are not growing and some are shrinking or just gone away. So, that is great. Some doctors are calling it a miracle - imagine that? God still performing miracles today? Who would imagine. I'm being sarcastic, but seriously, it seems people today have stopped believing in miracles and that God is still working. "God is bigger than the boogy man and He's watching out for you and me!"

Let's see - my niece, Heather, had a baby boy on . This will make her and her husband Chip with 3 children now. Taylor the oldest turns 8 on 14th of Sept. My niece Holly is due with her first around the first of October. Her husband is Travis. They all are trying to drive me even more crazy than I already am. I can't remember all these names.

I'm still taking chemo. This is oral chemo. It's not quite as bad as the IV kind, but some weeks or worse than others. But as long as it is working, I'll keep taking it, because I have a God
who gives me the strength each and every day ~ sometimes momement by if I need it.

I have learned a lot this second bout with cancer. And I again thank Him so much for all that I have learned through it. Sure cancer and the treatment is no party by any means (except when I make stuff to eat and we do have parties at the Cancer Center) but I would not trade what I've learned for nothing. I know I still have a lot to learn and a lot of growing to do, we should be striving for that.
I've had a few speaking opportunities and it just amazes me how God will give me the words. Once recently, I had been in bed all weekend and had to speak Sunday night. Well, on Sunday I got up at 2pm and showered and tried to prepare as much as possible. Then when I got up to speak, I know it was God speaking through me, because I really wasn't that prepared -- especially to do the whole service. But it turned out great.

I have almost learned to be still and just listen and wait on God to move me. I found a quote from Kathi Tracoli that says: "God did not put us on this earth for our purpose, but for HIS."

Lately I've been so blessed by old friends coming and helping me. I again just praise God and thank Him for helping me.

Well, that's about all I have time for now. I will try to write more often.
Remember to pray about joining my RACE FOR THE CURE team "kim's krusaders" or just donate. ". . . with God all things are possible." Matt.19:26

Prayer requests:
1. Some friends of mine that I knew overseas are coming to visit me next weekend. Pray for their safety as they drive (and that they find their way here :))
2. Also pray for my Uncle AG. He is in the hospital. He only has one kidney and it is shutting down. They also think he has liver cancer.
3. Pray for my niece Holly and her pregnancy. (she is due late Sept. early Oct.) She has gestational diabetes.
4. Pray for a friend of mine and their marriage.
5. I am speaking again Sunday night. Pray God's Holy Spirit will just fill me as I speak and everyone there so they see Him and not me. Give me the strength and words.

I love you all and thank you again for your
continued support and prayers.
Don't forgort about the RACE! :)

Love,
Kim :)
