Her answers: (to the questions offered by the tagger)
1. What inspires you about a sunset?
When I see a sunset I'm in awe. It inspires me to sing! Sing praises to the God who painted it for me!
2. Describe one moment you felt completely confident in who you were.
That's a really hard one because I don't feel that way very often. I guess I would have to say when I read scripture and I am reminded of who I am in Jesus and what I mean to Him. That my life was not a mistake and I was created for a purpose. Then and only then am I completely confident in myself because I'm completely confident in my Savior.
3. What is one question you have been struggling with lately?
Why do I have to be nice to them?
4. Name three people besides those related to you by marriage or blood who mean the world to you. Explain why.
Joshua and I have been VERY blessed with the folks God has put in our lives, but for the sake of time I'm gonna have to say at least 4. Our friends Sean and Meredith and Chris and Kim. They mean the world to me because they know us like no other. They've been there for us when we had absolutely no where to go or no one in the world to talk to. I can't tell you how many times we've cried on their shoulders or how many hugs that have been shared, but I've cherished each moment. I'm a better person for knowing them and a friend in Christ is as good as blood.
5. When was the last time you laughed with abandon? What brought on the sensation?
With Kim this weekend, while she was yelling at the TV. What I love about her is that she doesn't care who is around, she just says what she thinks. I think I actually peed a little bit!
6. If you were to write a novel, what would it be about?
If you knew me, you'd laugh. I don't read many novels much less write one. Umm.... can it be a children's book instead? I was originally an art major and I always thought it would be awesome to illustrate a book or have my own card line.
7. Which unfinished project from your past nags at you the most?
Probably a friendship I had that has never really been mended.
8. Do you have any regrets thus far in your life?
Of course. Doesn't everyone? My only prayer is that God helps me learn from those mistakes/regrets and helps me to look more like Him everyday.
9. Which means more to you? A booming voice? Or the still small voice?
The Holy Spirit talks to us in a still small voice but I tell you; I often pray for God's booming voice because sometimes I'm a little dense.
10. Which part of your daily appearance do you take the most pride in?
My smile. It goes a long way ;)
11. Do you believe that God has a plan for your life?
Absolutely. It's hard to be patient and I really have to force myself to search the scriptures instead of others' opinions. Trusting a God we cannot see can be a challenge. However, there's proof of Himself all around us. It's a relationship that He wants to have with His children. He doesn't want us to figure it all out or worry about what lies ahead. He just wants us to rely on Him and take comfort in knowing that when we DON'T know, HE DOES.
