Introduction

Hello Everyone!

My name is Kim and I wanted to start a personal blog to share with friends and family about two life changing events that I am about to embark upon. Back in 2010, my church launched the theme "The Year of Jubilee". I was excited about it and witness alot of God's promises being fulfilled in my church. There were many things that I prayed about for God to manifest in my life. Some things were manifested and I was grateful, but some things remained unfulfilled. So as the year ended and our theme changed. I support the current theme of my church but want to continue rejoicing because I feel like I am still in "Jubilee". In  2011, I have much more prospective in my life. I am growing closer to God and it has really help me stay focused when things don't go the way that I would like them to go. I will continue to seek his face and I know he has great things instore for me and my family but in HIS timing. While I wait, I will continue to exercise my faith in the process. God's timing is best. I know in my heart that God has saved me from a lot of heartache by allowing things to happen in his perfect timing.

Now back to the events that I plan to blog about. The first life changing event that I will focus on is my Bariatric Surgery coming up May 25,2011. I will be having the Lapband procedure to assist me in losing weight. I have been wrestling with the decision whether to have the surgery since 2009 and have decided to go forward with it to preserve my health. I plan to document my personal experience as I go through the journey of permenant weightloss.

The second life changing event that I plan to blog is my journey with adoption. At this point, me and my husband have started the process to adopt a child. We have attented the required classes and completed all the paperwork to apply for our foster parent license. We have one more visit from our social worker on May 24, 2011 to finalize the home study so we can get our license. Getting our foster care license is a prelimenary step so that we can adopt. We do not plan to foster children. I am a pretty ambitious person and really hope that God will bless us with a child under the age of 24 months before the end of the year. Again, this is God's business and I will wait for his timing because I know that it will be perfect. It is my family's desire to be matched with a infant. I don't have any children and the thought of going through the milestones of motherhood would be so fulfilling! Please keep me and my husband Thomas in your prayers as we go through the process.
