Happy 100th Post to me!!

WOW it’s been great. Blogging has become something I really enjoy doing. I’ve met some amazing people along the way and have stayed connected to some of my very favorite people in the whole wide world through it.
So it looks like this will be 100 things you might not know about me. Truth is if you read this blog you basically know me pretty well but let’s get started. Sorry god’s girl if it doesn’t stay short and sweet. The order will be all over the place so don’t try to read into the order ;0)

-I really do still get butterflies in my belly when Bobby walks in the room after being gone.
-I really do believe I have the bestest husband in the whole world.
-I often go shopping and get bored and put all the stuff back. – Tammy understands that one.
-I miss my family all the time and chose to disconnect because it’s better than being sad. yes I’m aware that this is not true but let me live in my place of denial.

I bought some Lysol, new scent – okay it stinks to high heaven – so gross - I was frustrated because I knew I couldn’t take it back – it still will do the same great job that my other scent does. Then He said “just like the difficult person in your life right now. She will be used by Me to the same effectiveness as you”

-My favorite Book of the Bible is Nehemiah
-I sleep with a fan, even when it’s cold
-I will be voting for McCain – even thought I believe he just ended any chance of wining with his choice of VP. I do not believe that the American Republican Party will be able to see Sarah Palin as a viable president. If something were to happen to McCain. It’s a great thing our Lord is SOVEREIGN!
-my drivers license state that I am 140lbs HAHAHHAHAH ROTFL HAHAHAHAHAH

-If there is a mess anywhere in my home it can only belong to me, both my boys are neat freaks and I haven’t ever had to pick up after them – did you just grunt???

-If someone was to pay for me to go anywhere right now – I would choose Alabama to see my sis – I really miss her.
-if I could have one plastic surgery I would chose my girls to be put where the good Lord intended for them to be – bobby would never ever ever allow it so I guess they get to stay in South Beach the rest of their lives.

-I do not like flower scented lotions, perfumes or candles.
-I can not wear perfume – it all turns to smelling like bug spray on me.
-I work for my church staffing the janitorial
-I serve on a leadership team for our churches home school group
-I serve on a leadership team for children’s ministry
-I serve because I can’t imagine not getting to do things for my Jesus
-Having to learn true forgiveness without being apologized to is one of the greatest trials my Lord has used to draw me so very close to His heart and to teach me the power of breaking free of bondage – so regardless of how horrific the situation was I praise My Jesus continually for using it greatly in my life.
-I love to pray to go to that place of God showing me what’s on His heart.
-I could live in flip flops forever
-I am so very gray - thank you Jesus for steph who keeps me blond, red, brown and any other color we decide to mix in.

I have to say, that I'm glad you we not short and sweet! I thought it was really interesting and funny. You got me laughing really hard on some of those girl. I learned a few things about you too!

I still can't believe that you are shy!!! If you are shy, then what would outgoing look like?

Have you always been a Sun's fan?

Happy 100th post! You did a really, really great job with your list! I enjoyed it!!!

My Blessed Life said...

Can I do 100 things about you now? I still think you should have posted 100 reasons why you are glad I am your sister. (hehehe) OH yeah I'm with God's Girl Shy? are you kidding?

Sheri Nash said...

I would have to agree with the shy thing!! It was great to know more about you, things that don't always come up in conversations and because we live so far away now. Have a great weekend.

Dena said...

Thank you so much for your prayers. I was with my family celebrating Nana's homecoming and I told them about you and God's Girl coming into my blogworld and they were so touched by your prayers. And I was blown away by your son's response. For all your concerns about his interest in school (I was a teacher for 2 years - fourth grade so I feel your pain :)), you are doing something so guided by the love of Christ. So glad God keeps at us when we look completely disinterested in ways :) Much love to you my new friend.

Hi, I found your blog through following various others. :) I wanted to ask for your dog food recipe when you get a chance, and also to tell you that I take some homeopathic stuff for RLS (Hyland's Leg Cramps - it has quinine) that works wonderfully - it says to take 2-3, but I just take 1 and it's gone within minutes. My email address is jessibee33@gmail.com if you can send me the recipe.
Thanks!
