Q and A

Moriah at Uniquely Fashioned for His Glory

tagged me a few days ago with the five questions below. 

Thank you, Moriah! 

.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

..

1) Why did you start a blog, and how long have you been blogging?  I started blogging because I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my life and study of God's word, while being a witness to others for Christ!  I've been at it for a year and nine months now.

 .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

..

..

2) Who is your favorite singer or song?  I think my answer to this question is probably different everytime!  I have soo many favorites... but this time I'm going to choose Rebecca St. James.  She was my absolute favorite artist for many years.  And I even got the chance to meet her at a Girls of Grace conference 5 years ago!

.

.

*big cheesy grin*

.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

.

3) How many siblings do you have?  I have three sisters: 

Shelly (16), Eliza (13), and Samantha (11)

.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

.

4) What do you want to accomplish most in life?  That would be

the Lord's will. ☺

.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

.

5) How tall are you?. I am 5' 1.

Ironically, when I was born my parents were told I would be tall!

. 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

.

 

Well, that's it!

. 

Thanks again for tagging me Moriah!  Now I'm just going to

pass this along to anyone that sees it and wants to give it a try. ;-)

Have a blessed evening, everybody!

Random Questions Tag: 8 + 8 = 16

Since I was tagged twice with the same "8 Random Questions" tag, I decided to combine both of them together in one post... Therefore making a grand total of 16 questions! ;)  

The first set is from

Buttercup at Soaring on Wings Like Eagles 

and the second one is from

Polka Dot at Life's Too Short Not to Wear Red Shoes. 

Thank you for thinking of me girls! :) 

Here are the rules:

Answer the eight random questions. Then come up with your own eight questions and tag eight people to answer them!

***************

Tag #1
***************

1) Are you a "talk on the phone" person or an email/texting kind of person?

That's a good question.  You see, I don't care much for talking OR texting... but if I had to choose I guess I'd go with talking!  Although, texting would actually be more comfortable for me just because I inherited the dreaded "I hate talking on the phone disease" from my Daddy. ;)  Nonetheless, talking is more personable and I appreciate that more!

2) Post the lyrics to your favorite song.

Well, I have several favorites... but this is one of them:

HEALER

by Kari Jobe

You hold my every moment

You calm my raging seas

You walk with me through fire

And heal all my disease

I trust in You, I trust in You

CHORUS

I believe You're my healer

I believe You are all I need

I believe You're my portion

I believe You're more than enough for me

Jesus You're all I need

BRIDGE

Nothing is impossible for you

Nothing is impossible

Nothing is impossible for you

You hold my world in your hands

And here's a video with the song if you'd like to listen... :)

3) If you could re-live any day in your entire life, what would it be?

I don't think I would choose to do that because I can honestly say I'm content with everything that's happened in my life!  Each mistake has been a chance to learn and grow and (to be honest) if I got the chance to re-live something I just might make it worse!

4) If you were the ruler of a desert island what would you do to get people to come live there?

Well, I would only want people living there who were 100% sold out to and in love with Jesus Christ.  That being

said, I would do my best to promote the Truth and leave the results up to God!

5) What is your favorite book of the Bible?

I think I'm gonna have to go with the book of Hebrews.  I just love how it contains so much Old Testament history and applies it to the New Covenant.  It's amazing how everything points towards Christ. 

God is THE BEST author, for sure. ;)
.

6) Where is your favorite place to be in the entire world?

Yepper. :)
.

7) If you could do anything you wanted for one whole day, what would it be?

Serve God, help make a difference in someone's life ...and maybe even celebrate with a Sonic Java Chiller.  ;-) tee hee

8) What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?

I'm a thinker.  So I love the opportunity to sit in peace and quiet with nothing to do but think, read, pray or meditate on God's word!

.

Tag #2

***************

1. What character from a fictional book/movie do you most identify with?

This is such a tough question for me to answer!  I know it's not a fictional story, but the first thing that always comes to mind is Mary Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. 

↑And you gotta love Pa Ingalls too! =)

2. Do you have any new obsessions? (a movie you can't stop watching, a CD you keep listening to, etc.)

Hmmm.... nothing comes to mind! 

3. What is a clothing accessory that you couldn't live without?

This is gonna sound silly, but that would be my black undershirt.  I seriously have to wear it with 80% of all my blouses!  ...You should see me in my 'panic mode' when I can't find it. lol!  I only have the one, so when it's missing I have to search high and low until it's safe and sound again. ;)

4. What is your favorite color combination (for clothing)?

I know I am sooooooo boring, but I have to say I love black and white together.  Someday I'm gonna be really sick and tired of those two colors! lol  Someday...

5. Do you own red shoes? ;-)

Yes!  I have a pair of slip-on tennis shoes that are red with white laces. ;) 

6. Do you have a signature scent, or a scent you generally like to wear?

I don't typically wear perfumes, but when I do I use Juicy Couture.  Love that smell... :)

7. What is one thing that you want to do before you die?

Witness the impossible made possible through Jesus Christ.

8. Is there something you wish more than anything that you could do but know that isn't possible during your life on earth? ;-)

I'm sure there's something I could think of... but nothing comes to mind at the moment.  Besides, with God *all* things are possible, right? :)

*****************

Alrighty.  I'm going to cheat a little bit and skip out on tagging eight others.  How 'bout this:  If either of these tags look like fun to you... then they're all yours.  Go for it! ;)   

Have a blessed weekend, everyone!

For Fun...

I decided to join the blog party being hosted by Shannon at Below the Plateau!  It includes several Etsy-sponsored giveaways, and also involves creating your own party post and answering some fun tag questions.  So...  Let's get started!

•  Ring! Ring! You receive a phone call from a national sweepstakes organization saying that you have won a life-time supply of your favorite beverage!! What would that drink be?

A caramel one to be exact.

Okay, so maybe this isn't technically considered a "drink"

...but it would be my pick anyway! ;)
.
.

• If you could live in a Jane Austen novel, which book would you pick?  What character would you be?

From Pride & Prejudice

Honestly, this is the only Jane Austen book I've ever read!
.
.

• What is your theme song, that favorite song that absolutely matches you?

• You are trapped on a deserted island. Your only supplies are the clothes you have on, and a box with five things in it. What are those five things?

#1  My Bible

#2 Matches

#3 Knife

#4 Pillow

#5 Blanket

.

• Chocolate or Caramel?

Chocolate for sure. =)
.
.

• Vacation! If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I think that would be Israel... or Rome... or Hawaii.  Yeah.  Definitely Africa. :D  I'm so indecisive!  I really would like to visit Israel though. 
.
.

• If forced to do one of the two, which would you do: sky diving or scuba diving? Why?

I think I would rather sky dive because I've always been kinda leery about ocean water.  I'd rather jump out of the sky at 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 feet. lol!
.
.

• Favorite TV show, and why?

Duggars: 19 Kids and Counting

It's encouraging to me because the Duggars share a lot of our same beliefs... and it's fun to see how their large family interacts and functions on a day-to-day basis! 
.
.

• Are you a coffee and donuts sorta lady, or a tea and scones type of gal?

In the past I think I would have leaned more towards tea and scones... but I sure LOVE doughnuts and I've recently started drinking coffee (after being dead-set against it for so long!)  I have to say, I'm starting to really like love it. :)   So... does "all of the above" count?
..
.

• The time machine has finally been created, and you are the first to be able to use it! What era would you travel too?

Sometime during the 1800's - early 1900's.  Don't ask me why.  For some reason I'm really fascinated by the thought that it really wasn't toooo long ago, yet things were so different!  I like to think about the fact that those were the times my grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents lived as well. :)
.
.

• What is the last movie you watched?

A few minutes of Pearl Harbor on television.
.
.

• Ding-dong!!! Your favorite actor/singer/celebrity is at your front door! Who would it be?

This is the best I could come up with.  For some reason my mind is drawing a blank!

.

.

• What was your absolute favorite toy as a baby?

His name was Puppy.  (So original, right?)  Naturally, he was a puppy... but with a puppet mouth.
.
.

• What types of blogs do you like best? (examples: DIY, cooking, journal, ect.)

I love blogs written by people who are 100% sold out to and in love with Jesus Christ.  They can be of any type and as long as it's obvious that Jesus is the center of their life, I love them! :)

• What is your favorite Bible verse, your "life verse?"

"Come near to God and he will come near to you."  James 4:8 

Alright, that was a lot of fun!  I'm glad I was finally able to get this posted.  (I've been working on it a little "here and there" for the last few days.)  I pray you have a very blessed week, everyone! :)

Wanna Learn More About Me?

 --------------------------------

Well, this post is going to be filled with plenty of fun facts (i.e., I'm getting pretty good at going at least a week without posting--sorry about that!), my favorite things, and even a glimpse at what my handwriting looks like!  I hope you ENJOY . . . ♥

 ---------------------------------

First off, Abigail tagged me with this quick little questionnaire!  Thanks Abby! ;)

Country or city? Country for sure. :)

What is your favorite color?  P u r p l e 

How many states have you been to? Five

What is your favorite Bible verse? James 4:8 "Come near to God and he will come near to you."

What is your favorite song? That's a tough question! There's just too many to choose from. :)

Would you rather be inside or outside your house? Hahahahahaha...... everyone that knows me knows my answer..... That would be: inside my house.  Final answer. =)

Do you like pens or pencils? Pencils

What is your favorite memory? I have so many, but one that randomly comes to mind is playing with my sisters in our old backyard before any of us were teenagers. We lived in the city then, and had the PERFECT climbing tree and a wooden (log cabin) playhouse. We would oftentimes pretend the tree was a spaceship and we all had our special "spots" where we climbed up on to sit at our individual stations. We would also set up the playhouse to be a number of things such as a doctors office, McDonalds (lol), and even a mechanics auto shop with our own bays and an indoor "office" to boot! (Our Dad has always been an automotive mechanic and we loved visiting him at work and seeing what the environment was like at his job. :) Oh, and did I mention we used our bicycles as the "cars" that needed to be worked on?? That reminds me how every now and then we would even pretend the bikes were our horses. We would set up race tracks around the yard and even a few small ramps for our horses to "jump". ;)

Okay, that was one big memory. :D Now I'll pass this tag along to anyone who sees it and wants to give it a try!

Next, I've decided to do this "Handwriting" tag I saw going around for awhile. Here are the rules:

Write down the following, snap a picture (or scan the document), post it, and tag others.

#1 Name/Blog Name
#2 Right handed, left handed or both
#3 Favorite letters to write
#4 Least favorite letters to write

#5 Write: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

#6 Write in caps: CRAB HUMOR KALEIDOSCOPE PAJAMAS GAZILLION

#7 Favorite song lyrics

#8 Who you'd like to tag 
#9 Any special note or drawing

And here is the finished product... *drum roll*



*Don't mind the drawing that's slightly showing through
this sheet of paper.  That's just what happens when you
leave it lying on the desk without supervision BEFORE the
photo is taken.  I guess it's also Sister #3's technique of
sneaking her way into a blog post! lol  Tee Hee.... Well, it
worked! ;) (The funny part is that I didn't even notice it
until I was previewing this post. :D)

 Well, that concludes this "fun" post.  I really do hope you enjoyed reading.  :)  "Have a wonderful day!"

Before I Go...

... I have a few more awards to post! Since there are so many of them and I don't have much time, I think I'm going to do what Lindsay did in her post and skip out on the tag portions that are supposed to be included. ...I hope that's okay with everybody! :) Also, I'm going to "officially" tag anyone who hasn't been awarded with one of these yet!

• How many siblings do you have?

I have three sisters. =)

• Do you live on a prairie, woodland, city, or other?

Hmm... I don't live on a prairie, and it's not really wooded here. I also don't live in the city (we say we're out in the "country"), so I guess my answer would have to be "other"!

• Scissors or glue?

I guess I'll go with scissors!

Well, when I first started this post it was! I have to admit that it's gotten a little messy since then. ;D

I choose England.

First of all, I've never liked jelly beans! ... I'm definitely choosing chocolate. :D

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

• If you had to eat one type of food for two weeks, what would that food be?

Probably organic potatoes. They're filling, decent without seasonings, and they're healthy too! =D

~

Please tag eight people and do not tag the

one who tagged you. If you would not like

to answer a certain question, simply

change it to one you like and answer that.

• What song are you currently listening to a lot?

That would probably be "City on Our Knees" by Toby Mac. I just bought his newest CD a few days ago, but that has been one of my favorite songs for a long time now. (It's also the ringtone I have set for my phone! :D) It's funny, though, because I was just telling my mom that I don't typically care for the kind of music Toby sings, but there are certain songs of his that I just love!

• What books are you currently reading?

My Bible (of course! :), Power Perfected in Weakness by Chris Klicka (an AWESOME book!), and then there's my schoolbooks (I won't list them all! :)

• What did you do today that was really fun?

Hmm... let me see. I haven't really done anything special today, so I don't know! I did make myself a yummy banana smoothie, though... with non-fat organic milk, instead of water! That was actually pretty fun I'd say. ;D

• Do you sing a lot?

Yes. I sing around the house all day long! (And so do my sisters and my mom. :)

The Bible... and nothing else comes to mind! I usually don't read books more than once. :) I might read one twice, but never 3 times!

When we were at Walmart a few days ago I got myself three shirts, some scrapbooking tape, and Toby Mac's CD "Tonight". :D

• Which fictional character do you think you are most like?

Maybe Jane Bennett from Pride & Prejudice... that's the first thing that came to mind!

• Favorite earliest memory?

Playing "airplane" with my daddy. =) He would always lift us up in his arms (while lying on his back) and swirl us around in th air. We loooved it!

• What do you do to change your mood?

I usually pray to the Lord about it and ask him to replace my bad attitude with a Christlike spirit.

That would be the oatmeal I had for breakfast this morning. :)

• Do you want to learn another language?

Yes! I would love to learn Hebrew and Spanish. (I only know a little of both!)

#1 Jesus Christ & my Bible :: #2 My family :: #3 Water :: #4 A healthy diet :: #5 And exercise. :)

• Find the closest book currently sitting near you and flip to page 54. What is the first sentence of the second paragraph?

"Let me see it." -- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

(I had to randomly grab a book off the shelf in our living room because I'm sitting on the couch with mom's laptop!)

• What is something you would like to say to someone right now?

Remember to be joyful always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances--for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ! :)

I have some very sweet news to share. :)

Stephanie has tagged me with the "Friendship Tag"!

Thank you so much, Stephanie. I really appreciate the

sweet paragraph you wrote about me on your blog

and I love being your friend! It's been fun getting to
know you and follow you on your blog as well!!
...

Here are the rules to this tag:

• Choose any amount of friends, blog friends or real life friends, and say at least two things (Or more!) you admire or like about them.

• Tag the friends that you wrote about.

• If those friends have blogs, be sure to link to them!

First I would like to tag my friend Lindsay.

She has been a very dear friend of mine for a few

years now. Wow, it's hard to believe time has passed

by so quickly! One of my favorite things about her is her

big smile and kind heart. We share a lot of things in common

but--most of all--I love having a friendship with her that is

based on true faith in Jesus Christ! What a blessing!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful friendship,

Lindsay! I love you, dear friend!! :)

~

Next, I want to tag Allison. I met her not too long

ago through Blogger and I have really enjoyed

getting to know her more and more through her posts!

She always has something to share about what she's

been learning from God's word and it's encouraging to

read. Not to mention... I love seeing her pictures

and hearing about what all's been going on with her recently.

I appreciate her kindness and her friendship!

Thank you so much, Allison! :)

~

I'd also like to give this one to Eden, who I met not very

long ago either! I love seeing each of her wonderful blog

posts and it seems we have quite a few things in common

as well. ;) It's always nice meeting other young ladies who

share some of the same interests and desires as yourself!
Thank you, Eden, for being such a wonderful

encouragement and friend in Christ to me! :)

~

Now, I also want to tag Leah. She has been such a sweet

influence to me through her blog, and I appreciate

her kindness as well! God has gifted her with the wonderful

ability to sew beautifully, (as he has with quite a few of you ;),

and I love hearing about the things she's been working

on during the week. It's always exciting to see some of

her new creations! Also, I love her sweet fervor for the Lord!

Thank you for being such a lovely friend, Leah!

~

And lastly, I would like to tag Chloe. When I first met

her through Blogger, I could tell we were a lot alike. ;) I

always enjoy and appreciate her thought-provoking
posts filled with encouragement and Scripture! It has been

a great blessing to meet her and follow her on her

blog. I always love getting to read what she has to say!

Thank you, Chloe, for your friendship as well! :)

Wow, it's so hard choosing only a few!

I've met a lot of very sweet, Christian young

ladies since I started my blog and I've really

enjoyed getting to know EACH and EVERY one!

I appreciate greatly all the kind and thoughtful

comments I've received from everyone as well.

I pray a special blessing upon you all today!

Thank you for your friendship!! :)

Some Blog Party Fun!

Yes, I decided to join the Blog Parade that's being hosted
by Abigail Kraft! I've seen it going around a lot and I
thought it would be a lot of fun to do...
If you're interested in joining in on the fun, just click on the
banner above. :)

Now I'll get to answering the questions...

(this is going to be really hard!)

• What's your favorite time of the day, and why?
  
  

My favorite time of day used to be at night, but now it's when I wake up in the morning because we get to eat oatmeal with freshly squeezed orange juice. I love it! :D

• If health wasn't an issue, what food could you live off of?
  

My answer is salt.

Maybe that doesn't really count as a food, but I didn't realize how hard it would be to live without until we started this new therapy! I love salt!!

• If you could have one wish granted (besides wishing for more wishes), what would it be?
  

For my Dad to be healed completely, and no more hospital stays! :)

• What's one thing you get teased about a lot?
  

My height.

(I'm only 5'1" and when I stopped growing at 12 years old I was afraid I'd never be able to see over the steering wheel in a car! LOL!)

• If you could choose one book, movie, or TV show to spend your life in, which would you pick? What type of character would you be?
  

I guess my answer would be Mary Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. I always liked her character.

• If you could have one talent that you don't already have, what would it be?

To know how to ice skate! I've only been to the rink a couple of times before and I am really terrible at it. :D

• If money were no object, where would you go on vacation?
  

Hawaii

• If you were an awesome singer what genre would you sing?
  
  
  

Probably Contemporary Christian.

• If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, what would it be?
  

I love this place, but it's always too pricy for me to ever spend anything here. If I had 10,000 dollars to use at any store, this is where I'd want to go!

• If you could live in any point in time, when would it be?

Probably the late 1800's to early 1900's.

• If every outfit in your wardrobe had to be one color, what would it be?
  
  
  Purple! (My favorite color.)

• If you were one of the seven dwarves, which one would you be?

It's a mix between Happy and Bashful. :)

• What's the last album you listened to?

Barlow Girl -- Love & War

• What's something we'd be surprised to know about you?

Okay, when I get really hot my temper can easily flare and I become this little guy right ^^^here.^^^

Don't ask me why! :D

Well, that's it! I hope you enjoyed reading my answers. This was a lot of fun and I'm glad I decided to join. :) Have a great evening!
