A Yearly Update

2009-10-31T20:53:00.000-05:00

I never ever get on the computer as you can tell, and the only reason I updated this is because of my sweet and precious daughter Laura... Nothings really going on. Just teaching the 3rd & 4th grade.

BTW- This is Laura! MWAHAHAHA!

New Van!!!

2008-12-20T00:02:00.002-06:00

Happy Thanksgiving

2008-11-30T23:08:00.002-06:00

Well hello everyone, it's been a long time since I have blogged. I have been so busy since school started. All is well here in south Texas. We had a great Thanksgiving, hope everyone else had a great time. I can't believe that Christmas is so close. I just found out my brother and his family will be coming down for Christmas and I am so Happy.I miss them so much I don't even know their youngest which is the saddest thing cause I love the other two like they are my own. Maybe we can get to know him a little better while he is down here. Well better go for now. bye

New News

2008-08-26T00:34:00.003-05:00

Well Just thought I would update you on my Job. The "principle" came to me today and asked if I would be willing to take the fourth grade after lunch for History, Science,Reading and Spelling. I am so excited, finally I get to do something I know how to do. It will just be two days a week to start, but I am hoping that they will let me have the class after they see that I can do it. Unfortunately there is no raise with this job and I don't get out of any of my other dutys. It is going to be hard to get all the work done, but i know I can do it.

NEW JOB!!!!!!

2008-08-13T16:14:00.003-05:00

Well most of you know I now have a new job, at Destiny Christian School. The first couple of days have been a little difficult. I show up the first day at 8:00 and then find out I was to be there at 9:00. Then I walk into an office that has been trashed, they simply say," welcome have fun". Tuesday I made friends with this BIG copier that has more drawers than a dresser, and enough buttons to scare someone to death. I think I know how to work it now. Today was not so bad . I spent two hours this morning taking a test for food service ( I made a 100 ). Then I did a bulletin Board. I met with some Parents that want to put their kids in the school, and ended the day with a staff meeting. I still don't know what I am doing. I feel a little lost. Please pray That I will be able to learn fast,and be able to do what is asked of me.

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE!

2008-07-05T00:41:00.002-05:00

Have you ever stoped to think about the words in our national anthem.
Oh say can you see by the dawns early light, what so proudly we held at the twilight's last gleaming.Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the paroles fight or the ramparts we watch were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air ,gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave or the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Can you imagine what it was like for Francis Scott Key, down in the belly of the ship. He could hear the bombs, he knew lives were being lost and he knew England had more power. He also knew that Americans would fight to the death for their freedom. All night long he would ask, can you see her? Is she still flying? As The sun rose that faithful morn , I believe you could hear this question come from him .. Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave or the land of the free and the home of the brave ? Praise the Lord for our Brave forefathers who loved God enough to fight for freedom, so you and I could worship God and be FREE!!!!!!

Ok it's time for vacation. We were going to go to NC for vacation, but because Mark could not get off for as long as we needed ;we are spending just the weekend in SanAntonio.I love it there and am looking forward to the break. I don't know which theme park to go to , Sea World or Fiesta Texas. Let me know which one you all think we should visit. Well I must close. I'll think of you guys here at home while i'm out having fun. HEHEHAHA....KIM

School is almost out for the Laiklams

2008-06-04T00:27:00.002-05:00

Well, I can't believe it. We will be finished with school on Friday , and I will be able to spend some time on other projects. I am so burnt out on school. I ordered the V.B.S. kit last night and hope to get it early next week. I know Bible school is going to be hard this year ,but I can't think of any better way to spend my summer. There is nothing I would rather do than tell little children that their life has a purpose and its not just to live and die .Christ came to this earth and gave His life so that we could have eternal life with Him. I think that is something worth shareing. There is lots to get done before bible school. I need to paint classrooms and get all the crafts ordered and snacks and all that fun stuff.I'm kindof looking forward to it .( not the hot) So get ready summer cause here I come...

Hello

2008-05-03T00:13:00.002-05:00

Hey guys I've been very busy. There has been construction going on over here. I now have a beautiful Front porch and a great big closet. It is so nice. I just bought rockers to go outside and they look so good. I also have three hanging baskets on the porch. Me and the kids planted grass in the front yard and it seems to be growing.(can't believe it). I thank the Lord for all the things He lets me have.He is so good to me. He loves me like I Am his only child. Well I hope it wont be so long before my next post, but you never know things are just getting started. God Bless!

Hi There!!!

Fun in Mexico

2008-01-25T09:53:00.000-06:00

This is Marsha Smith and her daughter Anna, who is Lauras best friend. We were able to have them visit for a while and we had the most fun. I did not know Marsha very well but I found out she is a hoot. We took them to Mexico and there was a lot of soldier men over there it scared me but The Smiths did not seem to mind I guess if your used to soldiers always around ,like in Northern Ireland you feel wright at home.It was sad to see them leave. I hope one day to visit them.

Today could be your day!!

2008-01-16T16:24:00.000-06:00

Well this morning Me and Mark went to pick up my van. Then I stoped and walked two miles with Dee. At 11:00 I went to visit with a Friend , who I hope is doing good. After the visit Me and Dee went to the funeral of a young beautiful girl. My heart was so saddend to hear that her death was( sort of )an accident. I dont think when she did what she did that she truly thought this could be the end,I could die. It made me think, life is but a vapor and after this is the judgment. Are you ready to meet the Lord or do you need more time? The sad thing is we are not promised one more breath. So just be sure that you know that if this breath is your last you will wake up in the glorious arms of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Your day could be today. Are you ready??

Where did the time go?

2008-01-08T15:46:00.000-06:00

This morning started like all the other days, (I thought.) I heard the alarm clock jumped up and got dressed put my leg brace on (thanks Lucy) and went out the door. I got to the lake about 10 after and D had already started. I thought this was strange because she always waits for me and I'm usually even later. so when we pass she turns and walks with me and I ask her why she was walking? She says Miss Kim your an hour late. Have you ever seen one of those time laps Movies where time just disappears and no one knows how it happened? Well I did not believe her she had to show me the time on her phone. Well I got ,shall we say, just a little aggravated at Mark cause he always sets the alarm and he must of set it wrong . So like the good little wife when I got home I fussed at him which gave us a bad morning and I had to actually run after him and say sorry. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in me I forget that he gets tired and needs just a little rest and that he is always there for me when others would have pushed me off a cliff. So the lesson i learned is don't sweat the small stuff, I can always go walking but making the man I love upset only makes us both have a bad day. I LOVE YOU SUGAR DADDY!

HELP it's Math!!!

2008-01-07T18:39:00.000-06:00

Well today was just another day . We did see the news lady. Kinda cool! When I got home it was time to go to school and teach for a while. There are a few subjects I am very very bad at ,YES ,one is spelling, the other is Math, and today was bad. Luke is in fractions and percents and I hate it . I hate to even think that hard. So, I've got homework to do and I am not even in school. Any body out there like math? Luke may need you cause his teacher is stupid when it comes to math. I hope he isn't going into accounting!! Pray for me and for Luke!

What a night!!!

2008-01-05T11:53:00.000-06:00

Well last night was a bad one you know those nights you just wish would end so it could be all over. About 2:30 I heard crying out of the boys room, so I jump out of bed like the house was on fire and ran to see who it was. Well it was logan and he was sitting up in bed telling me that he was scared of the hole at the end of his bed. ( there is no hole at the end of his bed) Try to tell a child who has just woken up out of a bad dream they are just dreaming , they think it is real. So the only way to calm him down was to take him to my bed. When I lifted his 60 pd body off the top bunk I thought I was going to die. (big Kid).Any way his body was burning up. I mean HOT. I took him to my bed a woke Mark up, yes he was still fast asleep so much for having him around for protection, I asked him if he thought Logan was hot and he agreed, So I went for the trusted themometer. His temp was 102.1 And Of course I have no Kids meds. so I crush up two motrin and hope I dont overdose him. Sit on the couch for the next hour with cold rags and continualy take his temp. Its starts to drop so Ileave him on the couch and go back to bed only to just fall asleep to be woken with crys again in 30 min. Now he is saying the game on nintindo DS is going to get him. Must have been the temp. Back to my bed we went and all the mothers out there know that is the end of sleep for the night.You Just can't sleep with your kids in the bed with you. So about 7:00 I finally got to go back to bed , and have just now gotten up at about 11:30. Pray that this is over. His temp was gone when I got up.

New year here I come!!!!!

2008-01-04T12:42:00.000-06:00

Well Hello everyone it has been almost a month since I bloged , but I have had no time. This year I hope to read my Bible threw and lose about 20 pds. Don't laugh ,I can do it! I've done it before. I also pray that I can become closer to the Lord than I have ever been. I think your year can become any thing you make it.It just takes time and will-power, and a lot of prayer. I love you guys and wish you a blessed new year!

Christmas Should not be that difficult!!

2007-12-10T20:37:00.000-06:00

Well it's two weeks till Christmas, and I still do not have my shopping completed. I always wait till the last minute, and end up unhappy with what I have chosen. I still have no idea what to buy my better half, For some reason I always leave him until last. I have been thinking however, about the real reason for the season. I think Christ would be ashamed of all his children for being drug threw the Christmas season : when we should be rejoicing about the miracle of Jesus' birth. Keep in mind that without Jesus Christ being born in Bethlehem many years ago there would be no reason for celebrating , thus no Christmas. Lets not forget WHO is the real reason for the season

2007-11-20T11:05:00.000-06:00

This morning I was in a rush to get the house clean so I told Logan to clean his room. Well he turned around and with a sweet look on his face said," I don't want to." So I said ok , come with me and I opened the living room door and put him out . I told him if he does not help he does not get to live here free, and I locked him out . for a little while he stood there knocking at the door finally he gave up and it got quite. I looked out to see if i could she him and he was gone . Well now I'm getting a little scared cause this is Logan we are talking about ,so I sneak out to see if I can find him without him seeing me first and this is what I saw...

He will take care of you!!

2007-11-05T12:29:00.000-06:00

Today I was sitting in my room just thinking of all the stuff I needed to get done.My mom called and she has painting for me to do before this new group gets done here,and I have a ladies metting I'm planning for the sat. after thanksgiving. All this stuff was going threw my head and It was makeing my tierd and I hadn't even started. As I looked out my window I could see the little humming bird that Hovers around the tree out back., and I thought of that verse in the Bible where God says he takes care of the sparows and he WILL take care of you, it just blessed my heart. My sis is right we do have an awsome God. I love Him and He loves me..

My BIG brother!

2007-10-28T21:56:00.000-05:00

This is my brother Daren Scot Kincaid . This man was the best brother you could ever have had. He is so funny .I don't think I have ever met anyone who did not like him. He is a gentle giant. I can remember when we were little all the things he got me into.My brother is a outdoorsman anything you can do outside he can do . Hunt, fish, gardening,(I'm not talking flowers ), he loves being outside. My bother is also a preacher and boy can he preach. Hopefully we can get him to come down here to preach. I really miss my bro. and his family we are very close.When we got married we were both young and he and steph ,and me and Mark were all alone so we spent alot of time together. I just miss him and hope he comes down soon.The Lord has blessed me with such a good family, and I can't thank him enough for all he has done for me.I hope one day you can meet my brother and get to know him alittle, you'll love him I just know it!

Anything is better than nothing!!

2007-10-22T22:24:00.000-05:00

Well I really have nothing to talk about ,but I thought that everyone was probably tired of looking at my blog so I thought I would write about nothing and see how many hits it got. Have you ever had one of those days where things just happen in slow motion? this is how my day went today and I think it was because I didn't go walking this morning.I got up late and my day just past nothing great happened, It was just another day. Well I did just about buy some body anew car when I was on my way to pick up Anmaree.I was just about to harrison when I saw something in the road, blown there I guess by the wind, I looked up to see this car stopped right in front of me. I slamed on my breaks and the van jerks several times till I came to a very close and uncomfortable stop. I guess if I was going the speed limit I could have stoped sooner ,but it sure was a thrill to see how fast that little white mini van could stop. Well that was it my thrilling day. Oh yeah DeeDee it is not cold it is wonderful!!!!

My Sister and Me

2007-10-16T13:06:00.000-05:00

If you don't already know; I have a sister. Her name is Kelly, and I love her dearly. As little girls we were not always Best of friends. I remember saying things to her like , I hate you or your stupid or I wish you were not my sister. As I look back on our childhood I see I missed out on the very best friend I could have ever had. The older I get I see she is wise beyond her years and is such a blessing to me . I hope the past is just that, the past but just in case there is any dout, I love you Kelly and am proud to call you my sis. God surely knows what he is doing cause he knew I needed you. Love you Kim

Bye bye

2007-09-28T00:01:00.000-05:00

Well this will be the last blog from me before I leave. I just don't think I will have time to do this again. We are leaving early Monday morn. and we will be back next tues. You know your going to miss me when I'm gone. And I will miss all of you . Pray I can figure something out about the house. I need someone to come take my dog out one time during the day if anyone would like to apply I would be greatful. Its Tex the three legged dog he is very calm and tippy will be put up for your safety. HeHe Love you all !!! Bye.

LIVING FOR GOD NO MATTER WHAT!!!

2007-09-25T11:09:00.000-05:00

As I was thinking the other day, my mind wondered to why some people seem to have no problem living for the Lord, while others seem to struggle. I have thought on this for some time now and I think God has given me a reason to why this is. While some people "say" I love the Lord and will do anything to serve Him ;they lack the conviction to do ,"what thus saith the Lord." On the other hand, those that seem to have no problems serving the Lord. Have a deep settled peace that whatever comes thier way, If taken to the Lord , and left at his feet , the problem will be taken care of by the only one who truly can mend that which is broken. I think it would do us all good to say what Joshua said in Josh. 24:16 choose you this day whom you will serve.... but as for me and my house WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.....

Bad Day For Doggie!!

2007-09-20T16:44:00.000-05:00

Well today started out just like any other day. I went walking with Deedee and came home to find my 55 to 65 pd dog in my house, which is very unusual ( he is an outside dog ). I asked why he was in the house, and that is when the day changed. Quick history, two days ago while on my way to walk the dogs got out,( yes I have more than one). I called tippy and she came to me but Tex never does and I was late so I let him run,BAD MISTAKE!!! When I came home there he was sitting as he always sits beside the porch. I didn't think anything about it, until this morning. Luke tells me he can't walk. I look him over and sure enough his hip looks very out of place or broken. Well I have called every vet in town and none of them will take payments and they all estimate that it will cost at least 200.00 up to 500.00 and this is without hospital stay and any major surgery. Whats a girl to do? On one hand I say forget it I would only spend that kind of money on my kids.On the other hand I have three kids looking up at me with very sad faces saying ,mom you have to help him he is in pain. If anyone has any ideas on this problem please fill free to comment I need all the help I can get.

Is there life out there?

2007-09-19T11:48:00.000-05:00

Have you ever just sit and watched people as they walk into Walmart or the HEB,and wondered what their life was like? I have! We go threw life so wrapped up in our on lives we often forget about others. There are people out there hurting without the Lord to help them. they go threw there days not knowing the peace we have in Christ. I can't imagine going threw the hard times life can pass out without the Savior helping me. The next time you are people watching remember they need the Lord and that you have the answer.

DeeDee this is why we need to sleep!!

2007-09-15T21:46:00.000-05:00

Too tired to blog.....

2007-09-15T14:39:00.000-05:00

I am so sorry that I have not bloged in a while. If some woman would quit makeing me get up so early, and get started I might be able to blog before I fall asleep. J.k. (Dee Dee). Well where do I start? Sunday night I was blessed by all the kids that came to youth choir practice. Didn,t they do good? All week God has been good to me. I thank God for all my friends here. He has truly been my friend that sticketh closer than a brother, but also has given me a true friend.

Friday DeeDee and I went to a car dealer and I won a thousand dollar shopping spree online. See how God blesses. I was thinking of getting a new car, but I think I should wait apon the Lord. His gifts are better than anything I could find and buy.

Friday evening all tha Laidies Of Grace went to the O.G. ( my favorite place ) to eat. We had so much fun . I still kept mt diet, so that was good. If I can do it there I can do it anywhere.

Whats going on?

2007-09-04T22:44:00.000-05:00

Well today was the day DeeDee and I was supose to start our diet. I was doing ok untill Lunch where i guess I just blocked it out. I Went to KFC where my diet went out the window. We had snackers and popcornchicken and tater wedges. I dont know what happened to me.I got home ate and then I remembered that today was the day of the diet. ( how convienent ). Well For supper I did better ,grilled ch. potato corn. I Did walk one mile on the tredmill . I need to lose about 20 pds so pray, I have no self controll. Plus I just love to eat...

This Man That I Love

2007-08-31T15:32:00.000-05:00

Hello again I thought I would write a little about someone very special to me. He is sweet and kind and he always puts me above everyone except Christ. People have asked me ,If I find it hard to live with a pastor? I guess in some ways it is harded because after years of haveing his undivided attention, now I have to share with a whole church. But God has given me a gift. When I am tired he helps me. He will take the kids somewhere just to give me a little peace. He has always done this since Laura was just a few months old. He would come in after working all day ,and I would be hateful and tired of all the diapers and the" bottles" and all the things that go along with being a new mom. He would lift Laura Out of my arms kiss me and say he was going to go to TCBY. I dont think he ever knew how much that 30 min.Break helped me. This sweet man is my soul mate, and I love him. This man is Mark Robert Laiklam, And he is all mine!!!!!

The day in the life of the preachers wife

2007-08-28T15:58:00.000-05:00

Here we go ,I got up at seven and I was off. Mark needed his hair cut so that was the first thing I did . Then the kids had to be gotten up and from there on it has not stoped . Fighting with the boys on whos mess was in the floor ,or with Laura over which of us needed to get in the restroom first, of course she goes first. While she is in the shower I try to clean the house so that while we are at school I want have to be thinking about my dirty house.( I hate that )Then its feed the dogs ( two of them ) Grab a cracker and out the door we go, over to the church where we start school about nine. From nine till Twelve we are in class going over place value in math and sentence structure in English Till Laura asks are we going to eat. We take a break go home and fix all of us something to eat. By one we are back to the church . Now to do some more school .History, reading, speling, science and assign home work. ( oh yeh had to give tippy a bath two times today. One for fleas and the other because she got stuck outside in the rain storm. It is now four and now it is time to make sure the homework i asigned as teacher gets done like a mom. Life sure is busy but I love it . Well got to go its time to start supper, and YES I am cooking.

Happy Birthday to Me

2007-08-23T15:44:00.000-05:00

Well today is my b-day. I woke up late and that is the kind of day I have been having all day. I am teaching a ladies Bible study tonight and I have studied all day but to no avail. God will surly have to help me cause I have nothing. Who would have thought that it could be so difficult to find something in the Bible to teach others about Christ, but it is when you think that what you say could effect the way they look to the savior. Be in prayer. I need Gods help.

My Birthday

2007-08-22T22:43:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow is my 32 birthday. I don't think I like this getting old stuff. My husband and my very good friend threw me a little b-day party. I've never been much on supprises but it is nice to be thought of.Church went good tonight. I really wish this little church would become such a wittness to our comunity that everyone would know we stand for God, the Bible, and that there is hope for a lost and dying world. got to go..

First day of school

2007-08-21T15:54:00.000-05:00

Today was our fist day of home school. It went well . All the kids finished their work and we did not fight or cry. Overall I think it would be easier to send them to school, but I would have to bend or even go against some or all of my convictions. Public schools teach evolution something I am completely against, sex ed when I teach abstanance and they have a total disregard for my Heavenly Father. So wether or not like homeschool, it is a must in my oppinion for my family.
