We are sincerely thankful for the opportunity to be going back to Haiti. Our trip seems to possibly look a little different this year. There are plans to play a concert in the center of town, plans to teach at an orphanage, build houses, and plans to encourage the church at Leogane. Although we have tried to prepare for each as best we can, we continually are praying that more than anything we are sensitive to the Spirit’s leading and obedient to whatever task He may have for us. Both Grant and I are extremely anxious and excited to see the Haitians at the base where we are staying. The Lord has created a special bond with these people who serve us and whom we see on a daily basis. We are praying specifically for these relationships and the mighty things the Lord will do with the time we are able to spend with them.

Last year the Lord used the book of I Thessalonians to pave a path of prayer for us. Many of Paul’s teachings in that letter we found to be ones we could echo and cry out to the Lord through. We continue to have this letter at the forefront of our minds as we serve again this year.
Our prayer for all of us and the people of Haiti that we encounter would be this:

For the people of Haiti:
ch. 1 vs. 5 “Our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit with full conviction.”
ch. 1 vs. 6 “You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the JOY of the Holy Spirit so that you became an example to all the believers…”

For us:
ch. 2 vs. 2 “we had boldness in our God.”
ch. 2 vs. 4 “we speak not to please men, but to please God who tests our hearts.”
ch. 2. vs. 8 “we loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the Gospel, but our lives as well.”

For the people of Haiti:
ch 2. vs. 13 “We thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the Word of God, which is at work in you believers.”

ch. 5. vs. 24 ”He who calls you is faithful….”

We are so humbled to be able to give testimony to the faithfulness of the Lord. He has done mighty things already in our hearts. Things we truly could not express in words. He has faithfully used His Word, His people, and the Holy Spirit to teach us more about Himself and we are so extremely thankful. We go expectant of His workings and are asking that we might be instrumental in bringing praise to His name.

:if you would like to follow us as we go, we hope to update daily at epochhaiti:

.so thankful for His beautiful people.

rejoicing over this opportunity.

I come to you tonight a tired little teacher enjoying a box of raisins whilst listening to the sweetness of ‘mumford and sons’; thrilled to have the grading of 227 projects, the entering of 9 wks grades, and the placing of all the little kiddos creatings on display crossed off my 3×5 notecard full of to-do’s. Knowing I am none more tired than many of you, thought it might be appropriate to share the reason for my absence with you [my treasured] few followers of fresh entity.

I also come with anticipation in sharing my findings below…for it tickles the fancy of my love for those rare things that both please the eye and stir the heart.
This one is indeed an achiever of both.

First to mention the simplest of the two:
Many of you may have noted the hipness of the world map amidst home decor as of late. In fact, after having just glanced through my latest Country Living issue, one such find seemed to play right into this here posting as it mentioned some cute little vintage maps you can locate at historicmapsrestored.com.
:enjoy with a pretty penny:
Also, this most wonderful blog lady whose postings I truly enjoy has a few of her own perfectly displayed with simplicity over her kitchen cabinets.
:[subscribe]:

Hoping to join the trend in a personal way, here is my little surprise find at a market in Savannah, GA. It was on display as wrapping paper and sold for a mere 3 dollars and some change. I did have it mounted on foam core and framed during the goodness that is hobby lobby half-off week. But, I am sure you crafty folks out there could rig up a way to do this in the comfort of your own home.

:such a treasured piece for us:

As you may or may not be able to see, it is adorned with push pins noting the places the Lord has allowed us to travel. Hoping to continue to fill this map so as to widen our perspective, I am thankful for the little black pin placed right above South America which represents the dear people of Haiti. It was this July that the Lord allowed my husband and I to meet truly the most wonderful group of people I have ever in all my life encountered.

Our experience, without doubt, changed my life forever.
::if i will continue to let it::

My prayer is that our map will serve to be more than a lucky find amidst a growing trend, but rather a constant reminder of my calling and understanding that there is more to life than the happenings taking place in a little 1950′s home in Park Hill.

.rejoicing always..kimmie.

your options for the 2011 calendar heading to the shop nov. 1st!

:seek inspiration so as to inspire:
Quite the vague statement. How does one really seek inspiration? Understanding it differs for all, mine can stem from many things itself. Ultimately the Lord gifts me with any inspiration, but the avenues he uses are numerous. Too numerous to count really. I’m thankful for those times my eyes are made aware and it takes root in my heart to stir the bit of creativity He has blessed me with.

And this is where I am. [often].
Constantly noticing, constantly being stirred, rarely disciplined to act.

This year my determination has been to act more as the Spirit prompts. Primarily with the creativity and yearning for such He has placed in me.

Turning blogs and kitchen re-dos into a spiritual matter seems a bit silly…it is the creating part that stirs within, that in some way causes my affection toward the Lord to deepen. So yes. This small part of life will not be compartmentalized from the rest.

Because your [you.bloggers.you] gifts and creatings [not.again] are such avenues previously mentioned, I thought I might share a tid bit of my own.

Having moved into our quaint house 3 years ago, I finally got around to a little re-vamp of our 1950′s kitchen this summer. My inspiration stems from a blogger I’ve loved for some time: http://theletteredcottage.net. Her gift of creativity is beautiful and inspiring…enjoy your visit there.

.before.

Behr Premium Plus “Cotton Fluff” was used on the upper cabinets and Behr Premium Plus “False Cypress” was used on the bottom. Each cabinet door was taken off, sanded, and painted. We used the same hardware on the doors that was on beforehand and changed the drawer hardware to silver polished pulls from Lowe’s. The only other changed accessories was a small glass pendant from Lowe’s to brighten up the sink area and a whicker shade from Ikea for the table . I’ve wanted to take the cabinet doors off for quite some time and am so pleased with the result. Guests are now on their own for a mug for their cup o’ joe. And honestly. honestly. those two doors removed really do open up our little 1100 square foot home

.after.

So here we are with just a little paint, a wonderful brother who spent hours sanding those bad boys down, a weeks worth of time, my sweet hubby to photograph the whole process, and a couple of cabinet doors less, thankful for opportunity to have such things.

.rejoicing always..kimmie.

.the whys of such.

6.oct.2010.
I must begin with my confession of often making things more serious than need be. However, to balance such, I am not serious enough in regards to the amount of time in my days that one could deem completely wasteful. Thus bringing me to the point of adding another duty and/or outlet in my life. So, pretending as if you asked: I must say my list of pros and cons weighed heavy on the pros side which brings me to the place of postings.

Here is to hoping my sincerity is evident through
type as I say I’m thankful for your visit.

As a teacher of 12 year oldish art students, I feel as though I must seek inspiration so as to inspire. If I myself come to them without having used that other whole half of my God-given brain in the last month or so then how am I to challenge them to do such?

::So as to fulfill the whole practice what you preach slogan,
this is to provide an outlet for me to both work out my creativity
and share my creatings. [It isn’t a word. It flows. Moving on.]::

I have a few postings up my sleeve that I’m a little tickled about I must say. So to my husband, best friend, and mother…hope you enjoy these small thoughts I’ve attempted to put down in american typewriter font.

.rejoicing always..kimmie.

:and happy anniversary to the love o’ my life:
