"Announcing The New Mrs. Montana International 2011...Drum Roll Please...Kimberly Gingras!"

I won!
I am so excited!
All radio stations, News papers, and Television Networks in Montana will be notified next week of my new title!

I am honored to represent the state of my husband's heritage and roots. I am over joyed at the opportunity I have to stand a little taller on my platform, and reach the masses with the message I have to share with all who are willing to listen.

I will have photos of me in my crown and sash coming soon to my blog, my website, and to face book as well.

I will now have the opportunity to compete on stage at The Mrs. Internationl Pageant in Chicago July 2011 with contestants who are also state title holders, and with women who wear the crown for their country from all around the world! Places like Russia, Phillipines, and India, etc.

First things first!
This wonderful opportunity has created a new vehicle for me to obtain the funds for my trip to NC through National and International sponsorship! I can now offer a tax write off to corporations, as well as promote their business through advertising at this International event!

It feels so good to be able to offer something in return to those who have been so giving to me!
North Carolina...Here I come. I know I will make it there, and then be catapolted in the right direction fulfilling my mission, and living my dreams with NOTHING standing in my way!

My path is clear...and I'm going for it!

13 Days to North Carolina!

I finally booked my rental car this morning, thanks to a generous donation from Jed & Joanna Chrisman! With my Visa in hand ready to pay, I found out that I don't have to pay for it until I return the vehicle at the end of my trip!

This is such a big deal, because now I can pay for it with the money from my husband's paycheck the Friday before I fly home (at the end of my trip). I can apply my newest donation from the Chrisman's toward my screening that has to be paid for as soon as I show up (the first day of my trip).

This is a tender mercy from the Lord!

I can now apply the money I put aside for the car toward the beginning expenses of my trip. This is so wonderful that I am able to use strategy with my funds to make this trip happen.

I know these plans are all being orchestrated by the Lord! My gratitude is to him!!

15 Days to North Carolina!

I'm still counting down, and exercising faith more than before. I know this opportunity for healing is a perfect opportunity for my Heavenly Father to make my faith stronger. I accept that with a humble heart, and I know that I will be on that flight in 15 days, and I will have enough money to cover all the expenses of my trip. I don't want to have to go back, because it will cost more to do everything necessary in 2 trips, and symptoms may come back (before that second trip)if I don't get everything done at the same time.

If you can't tell, I have felt some frustration recently, and pressures of my faith being tested. So really today's blog entry is to remind myself that I am a woman of faith, that my faith is powerful! Once again, it is not my place to know HOW, it is only my place to have faith, believe I will receive, and open myself up to allow the blessings to flow in.

I feel better already with a renowned faith that I'm back on the right track to accomplishing this healing project of my life!

It's a big deal, and besides healing, it is a huge learning experience for me.

19 days to North Carolina!

I am counting down to the day I fly to N.C. I'll be there for one week. I can't wait to get there, get it over with, and be home again...accomplishing my goals, and living my dreams!

I was able to get a credit card with a $1,100. limit, and so far I have saved up $750as well. My flight is paid for, so next I'm going to book my hotel, and rental car.

I'm still needing about $2,200. more for the screening, procedure, and dental surgery and amalgam filling replacement. However, I know the funds will all show up in time to cover everything I need. I don't know how (even though I have lots of ideas), I just know that it will!

Work has been slow for my husband due to weather, and holidays. He just recruited 2 new sales Reps, and so tomorrow we will have a team of 6 guys selling tomorrow. This is very promising for creating a big work load that may be the source of the funds I'm needing to make my whole trip possible!

Please pray for Cody, and his sales team. Keep them in your awareness that they will be working hard with much success...that their success will naturally make up the difference for the cost of my healing journey to NC!
Thank you so much, and God Bless you for even taking the time to read this blog entry!
