So, while I was doing this lengthly challenge of "25 Random Things" for my friends on Facebook. I finally gave in to the 4th or 5th person that tagged me. It took too long and decided it was worthy of a blog post. Saves me from creating something twice. We are all good and we are going on a family outing with a picnic at the park. We are enjoying this beautifu weather. So see ya later and enjoy ready!
25 Random Things
1. I love to shop on ebay. I love the great deals I find. The twins probably wouldn't have many clothes if it weren't for ebay.
3. I love Jesus more than anything in the world. He is my rock solid foundation. What would I do without Him? He carries me and gives me the peace I need in my daily life. Thank You!
4. Secondly, I love my husband more than anyone on earth. He is my best friend. I often think, how was I so lucky to have gotten him! GOD, of course. I was also braver in my younger days! Ask him how we first met. I chased the boy down!
5. Thirdly, comes my children! What would I do without them and the chaos that comes with it. I also say, if the twins came first, we would have stopped right there! I was never the little girl that dreamed of twins. I always thought "that would be too much work." Good thing God had other plans, our lives would be so boring without them. A little side note to this story is before we were married James had a dream/vision from God. He told him we would have twins. Two boys and a girl. We always interpreted the boys would be the twins and when we had Daniel first and he wasn't a twin, we dismissed the dream. Then we had Justin and still dismissed the dream. I thought we were finished having kids when - surprise, I was not only pregnant, but having twins. I cried for days! I wasn't even supposed to be pregnant. How was that possible. I was looking at a hysterectomy because of the female problems I was having - what??? God has such a sense of humor. I can now see the humor, but I sure did not at first! The dream interpreted would be the fact that I had 3 pregancies, 2 single birth with the boys and then the multiple birth of the girls.
6. I love to have lazy days. Most days are so busy and crazy, that I love the days when I am off of work and don't have anything to do. I would stay in bed with my pjs on all day!
7. There are some things you just don't want to know about me, nor would I tell you!
8. 25 things are hard for me to come up with. Yuck! I am doing this for the love of my friends and for those of you who keep sending me these kind of things.
9. I just finished doing our income taxes. I love doing it, because we get money back. Praise the Lord. It doesn't hurt so bad during the year to take more out than you are supposed to so you get a nice return. Need it!
10. I love going to the Beth Moore Bible study, the Inheritance, even though I usually don't like to do women/girly things. I am so not girly that it's a little overwhelming being with so many women. Ouch! I am loving it, and so need to hear where my inheritance truly lies. AMEN and AMEN!
11. I wish I could go back in time and be more laid back and relaxed like I used to be. I think I was nicer at some point. Yet, I have matured in so many other ways. So, it's a toss up. There's a say "never look back."
12. I am thankful for the friends God has placed in my life at just the right time. I love my old/young, loyal friends that I pick up where we left off as if we never were apart. I love my new friends and what they bring in my life. Some feel like we have been friends forever! LOL! Love ya'll!
13. I love getting gifts, notes, compliments. I am one of those people that love them and need them. When someone compliments me on something especially clothes, I were it as often as I can get away with it. I grew up in a no compliments house and can't believe I came out as normal as I did. LOL - love ya family!
14. I love giving gifts as well. I love getting little things and surprising people. I love seeing it brighten up there day or putting a much needed smile on their face.
15. My husband and I would love to be missionaries one day. We love Guatemala and may end up there one day or God may just have us be visiting missionaries. Who knows! Pray for us to have clear direction. One of my greatest fears I have is leaving this country is having to home school my kids. I just so don't see me doing that, but if that's what needs to happen then I am willing. God knows I will.
16. I get cabin fever! I hate sitting still for long. I don't like being at home for long periods. After having the twins by c-section and having a hysterectomy and being down for so long. Hated it! I only hate it when you have to be down any other time, I am really wanting a nap!
17. I am so spoiled by having a husband that gives the most awesome massages ever! I am thankful I don't have to pay anyone to do it. Besides, anyone that knows me knows I have touching boundaries. I have my family to thank for that - so not touchy, feely people. I get it honest.
18. I turned 40 this year and don't feel it. Thank you Jesus. I guess having children later in life, makes me feel younger. I don't have time to feel old.
19. Following up with #18, James and I waited for 6 years after getting married before having children. Anyone that knows me thought that was so weird! I love children. I was always the babysitter of my neighbors and then my friends who had children before we did. I recommend it to anyone. It's not for everyone, but was great to have "our" time before we had children. So worth the wait. Although, I will be 90 years old when my kids graduate college, but hey what can I say. Just Kidding, kinda.
20. I am thinking that this is taking way to long to be creative. I am runnig out of ideas. I love stealing other peoples creative ideas. I am just not creative myself.
21. I love reading these things about other people, it is so interesting. I think I am boring, which by the way, is a sin according to Paris the Heiress. I am trying not to be so boring.
22. I was born in Grand Prairie, TX. I have lived in Duncanville, Arlington, Stephenville, and Houston. All in the big state of Texas! Yee haw!
23. I have loved being on Facebook. It has let me reconnect with some friends and keep up with some friends. It has been a blessing.
24. Speaking of blessing! Each year I pray for a word to focus on for the year. It is usually an area I need to grow in spiritaully. My word from God this year is blessing. Blessing means for me to be a blessing to others and receive blessings from others. Blessing definition: a favor or gift bestowed by God, thereby bringing happiness. Blessing Scripture: I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26L
ast year's word was JOY! My own acronym I came up with is Jesus Only You! I wanted and needed more Joy - Jesus and joy! Now I have all kinds of "Joy" words, pictures, etc around the house and love it! Joy definition: the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation Joy scripture: Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
25. Glory to God for #25! I hope you have enjoyed learning a little bit about me. After I am finished I will probably think of all other kinds of things to share, but for now here ya go! See ya!
