Mission: Kim-Possible!

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I am a 45-year-old Christian mother to three boys (one stepson and two biological) and wife of one husband. My stepson is on his own, my oldest son just started Bible College in the fall of 2017, and my youngest is 16 years old and in grade 11, doing online school at home under my supervision. I am employed part-time as the Assistant Children's Minister at our church, and I am also a substitute Educational Associate. I love administration, teaching, and learning. If I have any spare time I enjoy baking, cooking, eating, writing, singing, connecting with friends, reading and watching a select few television shows (my absolute favorites are Project Runway, Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, The Great British Bake-Off and This is Us). I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. It is my relationship with HIM that gets me through my days. I love animals, especially dogs and polar bears. I live on an acreage in the Saskatchewan prairies, and I have no cats (we're working on taming some strays, but so far they haven't claimed our yard as home), and five dogs. I love the color pink and my favorite number is SEVEN! And last but not least, I am an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Blue Jays. Please leave a comment after you visit. Thanks!

Why "F.A.T. and Beautiful?"

In 2014 it is my goal to become "FAT-ter" . . . more Faithful, more Available and more Teachable. (Thanks to my sister, Connie, who shared that acronym with me a few weeks ago).

With God's help I ask that the circumstances of my life will cultivate the inner beauty that He desires for me.

"Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God."

~1 Peter 3:3-4 (NASB)~

Why "Mission: Kim-Thankful?"

On January 1, 2012, I began something called "The Joy Dare", which was inspired by the book, One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp. I have dedicated the posts of 2012 to being the reflection of a thankful heart. I wish to view my world through glasses that are grateful, no matter what comes my way. I wish to live out I Thessalonians 5:18 . . . "give thanks in all circumstances." Most posts from 2012 relate to my journey of thanksgiving, which I continued to pursue in 2013 by way of a personal, hand-written journal.

"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him."
John 3:16-18
