11 Facts about me

4. I still struggle with anxiety, but nothing like what I was experiencing a few years ago. I hate it but in other ways I'm very thankful as it has given me a chance to better understand people that have anxiety.
5. My life is nothing like I thought it would be as a child.
6. I'm very excited about becoming a mother, and I can't wait to see who this child is that god has given us to take care of. 
7. I think of myself as very open minded but I'm still guilty of judging people.

9. I love food!
10. I spend way too much time looking back and looking forward, which causes me to miss the right now.

Questions from Jen

1. What's your favorite genre of music or artist? 
I love chick music.

2. Where do you think you belong within the body of Christ? (What gifts do you have to serve with?). 
I believe my gift is healing. Sometimes it's weird to think about because I have always said, I'm good at a bunch of things but I'm not great at anything. It's taken me a long time but I've found that a good part of my gift is just being with the "sick". 

3. What would you do with a million dollars? 

I would pay my student loan bills, buy my husband a new car, buy my dad a house in FL, buy us a house in FL and donate the rest to my favorite charities or start a non-profit. :)

4. Have you read Jon Acuff's "Stuff Christians Like"? (You should!)

I haven't. I don't read near as much as I should

5. What would you name your first child?

Tricky, tricky... we're not telling until he gets here. :)

6. Is there something about yourself that you absolutely love?

Hmmm.... I love that I'm able to talk with all kinds of people. 

7. When did you start your walk with Jesus? Or have you?

My parents never forced religion on me, we would only go to church for holidays and we didn't really have one church we attended, but I always just felt there was a God or higher being. I started attending church in 7th grade with friends. I was baptized on the spare of the moment in a Methodist Church. It just felt right and when the preacher said come forward if you would like to accept Christ in your life, I went up. Interestingly it turn out to be the same day as my mom.

8. Who are you closest to in your family?

Jason and my parents.

9. What is one of your greatest pet peeves?

Parents that won't pay attention to their children. 

10. What's your favorite time of day?

Depends on the day... but probably right before bed. Things are calm, my brain can process the day and life seems okay.

11. What's your favorite thing to do in the winter? Summer? 

Winter - Feeling the warmth of the sun through the windows of the car, while it's still chilly. 

Summer - Wild flowers, and cool nights filled with bug sounds.
