I've Been Tagged...For the Very First Time! :o)

My friend Cindy tagged me so now I get to blog about 8 random things...hmm...


1. I had 2 dogs growing up that were named PePe - and both of them were chihuahuas, my mom LOVES chihuahuas!


2. I have a TON of guilt for not having a set time to study my Bible...and I know that I only have to START it - but I just cannot seem to set aside time regularly. I know, I should...I really do want to! I just lack putting it into action!


3. I lived in two different houses growing up - that's all. And ONE of those I don't even remember because I was only 2 weeks old when we moved out! (My parents were trying to rent a cute little house, but the landlord would not do any repairs so they had to move out and find a better place.) Every now and again, when Hubby and I are in that town (it is nearby and we find ourselves there often since Hubby's family lives there in the same town) we'll drive by. It has been fixed up now and is so sweet!


4. I always wanted an older brother. I'm the oldest...not really sure how THAT would've happened, but I always did. Then when I got married, I thought that Hubby's older brother would be like my brother...but for quite a while he REALLY did not like me. (It seemed Hubby didn't know how to tell him "no" so he would say I have to see what is planned...Bro thought I was RUNNING HUBBY'S LIFE! He figured it out after a while. Now he likes me - but we still aren't very close.)


5. I never really wanted to go to college. (Is that bad?) I always knew that I wanted to be a wife and mother - and THEN maybe I would go to college. Don't really know for what, and I couldn't afford the (now required) testing as a child/student before, so I don't know now if I can ever even go. (I am sure I can go SOMEWHERE, though. Even community college if I really wanted to.)


6. I am an insomniac. It often takes HOURS for me to get to sleep and even if I DO get to sleep, if anything wakes me up (I am a VERY light sleeper, too!) it takes HOURS to get back to sleep. Last night was a bad night - I am EXHAUSTED!

7. When I was working with kids (in child care and in school, etc.) I had a tendency to favor the "bad" kids. I don't know why. I tend to give them a bit more positive attention (when I can) and try harder to "get to" them. It usually worked...or seemed to.

8. I am UBER-self-conscious! I get REALLY uncomfortable around a lot of people and I have an inclination toward thinking that when people are whispering or talking quietly around me, that it is me that they are talking about. When I walk through a group of teenage girls at church (our youth program is BOOMING, so that is about twice a week at least) I feel like I am back in high school. Like they are making fun of me and laughing at me. Pitiful, isn't it?

Okay...I'm done. I hope these are random enough - and not too pitiful! :o)

Be blessed and be well - I have cleaning to get done!

Hey, no where in the bible does it say that you are required to read the bible for X amount of minutes at such-and-such time every day. We don't live under law anymore girl, we live under grace! So just delight in the LORD and read His word out of your love for Him and desire to be closer to Him. :)

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed getting to know you a little better! So who are you tagging?
Wow! Thanks for TAGGING me....I'll try to post today sometime...

I so know what you mean about the BIBLE reading guilt....yep, got the same thing.

Oh, I have the same feeling about teens....I finally just thought....oh well, at least they NOTICED me...ba haaaaaa.

By the way, my mom did SUPER w/ the last treatment....she didn't get the sloth mode this time....thanks so much for the prayers. She has her 3rd treatment this Wednesday.....then there will be 9 more to go.

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
