We’re home, after nine weeks on the road for this latest book tour. The daunting tasks of unloading and cleaning the RV are done, but the mountainous tasks of laundry and getting the house decorated for Christmas loom like monsters ready to eat me. So here I sit. Staring at the computer screen. Thinking, “I really need to blog. I’m so behind.”

And then… nothing. My mind went totally blank. Thoughts like, “I don’t have anything cute to say. Nothing of great import. I’m way too boring.”

You all know this to be true, right?

The last nine weeks started to flood back in…

Suspicious police report filed in Arkansas
Low bridge in Niagara Falls
State troopers coming to stop traffic on the highway (because of me! LOL)
A broken tooth
An abscess tooth
A slide motor coming completely disengaged
Shimmying my 55-foot rig…

The adventures of our book tour continue… and as I try to drive, write, speak, and feed everyone in our little entourage, I find myself exhausted each day as my head hits the pillow and I think, “Man, I need to blog!”

Thanks to the wonderful people at Pulse Point Designs, we have this incredible new website – Kim (that’d be me) just needs to learn said website and keep up. I do appreciate everyone and your encouragement and great emails about how much you love it – we do too!! I promise, I’ll do better. Really, I do. If I can just get to a place that has fast WiFi, I’ll be doing good. (I’ve done enough typing on my iPhone to know that I stink at it!)

Anyway, last time, I told you about our “suspicious” police report and how we were…

I’m so excited to be blogging on our new website!! Woohoo! Don’t you all love it? Let’s all give Pulse Point Designs a huge round of applause – well, okay, maybe virtual applause – LOL

We are on a long book tour and have been through Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and now Tennessee. And guess what? We’ve had one adventure after another. Imagine that. Kim on the road. You know it is not going to be smooth sailing.

The adventures started with Kayla and I driving to St. Louis and back for ACFW conference. Kansas is so much fun to drive across. Especially twice in six days. With 15 construction zones.

Then the adventures continued with everything falling into place at the very last minute. And I mean LAST minute.

Then? We drove across Kansas. Again. Except this time, I was pulling a 40 foot fifth wheel. …

We’re so blessed to have Mom and Dad Woodhouse visiting us right now. We almost lost my father-in-law several times the past few years, and that makes the visit that much sweeter.

But it’s also made me realize that every moment is a blessing. We never know when that last one moment will be – so we should be cherishing every one we have. (My friend Sally and I just discussed this the other day!)

We live a long distance from most of our extended family – and it is really difficult for us to go see them because of environmental issues for Kayla (the majority of our family is in the South). So we don’t get the opportunity to see them often. But the time is always precious.

I was thinking about it this morning, because my sweet husband and kids – we’re together ALL the time. We love…

I’ve been doing a lot of speaking lately, and perseverance keeps coming up.

Times are hard. Real hard. And people are struggling. They’re looking for encouragement, insight, advice, wisdom – on how they can keep running their race with perseverance.

Since I’ve had so many emails and people talking to me about this lately, I thought I’d share my little analogy I’ve been sharing along the way.

Hebrews 12:1-2 says this:
NASB “1 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the…
