Old School Style

My sister did this kind of a blog a couple months ago and kind of passed it on to me to do on my own blog. I had been meaning to get on a lot sooner to do this but, hey, at least I have time tonight to work on it. For my friends out there, I thot this might be kind of a cool way to get to know me a little better :-) Hope its an enjoyable read!

Old School Blogging:

 1. What were you doing 10 years ago?

-I was a freshman in college at Northland Baptist Bible College (thats what it was called back when I went there), on my first spring break, not having a clue what I wanted out of life, and heart broken over my first breakup.

2. What are 5 things on your To-Do list?

 -Do the dishes (never off my list!!! :-()
-fold laundry
-vacuum
-find a new shirt for Bryan for Easter
-go grocery shopping tomorrow for Easter dessert

3. What are 5 snacks you enjoy

 -popcorn
-jellybeans
-chips and dip
-fruit
-trail mix

4. Name some things you would do if you were a millionaire?

 In the name of not sounding materialistic, I'm just going to answer the question and not give too much thot :-) I would get us out of debt. Maybe buy a house. Set the boys up with education and life stuff, plus our retirement. Give lots away but also try to be smart so that I could give gifts and be generous throughout my life. Go on a vacation with boys and then without boys. Put money into Bryan's business. Probably bikes for boys and set us up with clothes for all occasions. What a loaded question!!

5. Name places you have lived:

 Ecuador most of my growing up life, Massachusetts, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. I think that's it :-)

6. What are some habits you have?

 Mmmm, I'm not sure I have any habits. Just the things I do everyday, round the house things. Some might say I have a habit to worry and be negative outlook on most everything. I really can't think of anything else :-/

7. Name some jobs you have had:

 I worked at my Grandfather Farm Stand (selling produce and flowers/garden stuff), D'Angelos Subs shop, Buck-A-Book, Northland campus Services and then bookstore,worked for the county in this area, Shirley's cookie factory, and Top Dawg. Now forever and always a Mom, which is all I really want to be doing!!

8. Name those you are tagging:

 Not sure who all has a blog or an outlet in which they can do this on but I think it would be fun to hear from anyone who wants to continue this. Just tag me or link me to your page so I can read yours too! Love learning things about people!

    I loved hearing (or reading) your answers! I know a habit you have - going through Dunkos drive through whenever you are out! And your job now is really what you have wanted to do your whole life - since you were 3 years old! Living out your dream!!

    I admire that you put comments on here for "the whole world to see" and risk being scrutinized because you speak truthfully and you share REAL thoughts. One of the things I've observed about you is that you allow your boys to BE boys, yet they have learned tenderness & compassion because you have shown them these traits in everyday life--in how you treat them as their mother and the primary woman in their lives.

Looking at this year

I'm not sure why but it seems to be this time of the year, the atmosphere, the emphasis, the joy, and perspective that is around this holiday, but I do alot of thinking back over the year. Boy, this has been a full year! We have been busy in ministry, learning things about ourselves, our ministry, our teens, our God, and how to better love, serve, and bring glory to Him. Boy, do we have along way to go!!! By NO means do we have anything figured out! We are a piece of work but anything good that happens thru us is only by God's grace (God giving us what we don't deserve). We have been here at this church, working with the teens, for almost 3 1/2 years. We love these teens! There is just something about working with teens. When we started, I was so intimidated, so wanting them to like me, so self-consious that I think I was fake and not really being myself. I have learned something in these years. They just want to know if you are going to love them and they just want you to...

Catch Up: When the Unexpected Happens Part 2

Image
I'm finally able to talk about all of it, all that God has worked through my heart up until this point--all the ugly, all the hurt, all the good, and all to His glory! My story isn't finished, but let me catch you up. I hurt! And I hurt bad with the loss.  I had opened my heart up to a new life, a new love.  This baby was precious to me already.  I struggled through understanding what God was doing.  Would He give us life only to not allow that life to develop?  But I never questioned why.  I had grappled through the sovereignty of God when we got pregnant, so it was easy to move that thought process over to apply to this.  I understood that what God does, doesn't always make sense or meet up with my plans, at least I thot I understood this concept.  Coming to grips that this baby was never mine, that in fact none of my kids are, was also something that became real to me.  That reality is a hard reality to accept as they feel so much mine, ...
