I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

Gran and the Kids - Fun Weekend!!

Days #234 - #237:
Thursday and Friday were spent eagerly anticipating the return of Chef. He's back in place tomorrow morning. I'm so glad. I've missed that guy. And I'm slightly excited about the fact that he will have an Icelandic chocolate bar and an Icelandic newspaper. But let's talk about yesterday and today. They are more exciting. YEsterday, I spent the entire day with my Gran. What fun we had! We went to see Aunt Flora in the hospital where I had to do some smooth talking to get her back since we had missed visiting hours for ICU. When we got done there, we took off and went to St. Vincent's to see Aunt Wilma. This was a blast. For one thing, neither one of us know anything about Birmingham. When we got there, I fed Aunt Wilma her lunch. It was funny. When Gran was in the hospital and I fed her, I just kinda randomly gave her a bite of everything. Aunt Wilma would point to what she wanted a bite of. It was like she was directing an orchestra. Hilarious. IT wasn't long before Aunt Faye showed up. She's the youngest of all Gran's sisters. I love this woman. She cracks me up! She always has blue eye shadow on (my sister says this is where I get it from) and bright lipstick. She has a wicked sense of humor. Today, my kids taught me more than I taught them. I am loving this new small group class already. We were talking about creation and I told them I was so glad God created the sunshine because I hate the dark. One of them said, "Miss Kim, God is with you all the time. You shouldn't be afraid of the dark." Rebuked by a 2nd grader 2 weeks in. It didnt' stop there. They are SMART! I asked them for an attribute of God and one said, "He's incomprehensible." Another said, "He's Holy," (which is what Bro. Matt had preached on Wednesday night). They are amazing. So glad I'm at a church with such rich doctrine given to the kids! I'm fully expecting them to teach me more than I teach them. :0)
