I received 2 super sweet & lovely friendship awards from one of my greatest blogging sisters around...Grace over at "Grace's Garden Walk" (gain entrance to her 'garden' through her blog button in my sidebar)! She is just such a kindred spirit & I'm so blessed to have her friendship! =)

Okay, it feels like I've been tagged by a million & 1 people (large overstatement, but...)! Thanks to all those who tagged me (I don't think I remember everyone - SORRY)! Another big SORRY for how long it's taken me to get this up! I do love tags, but they can be time consuming. If you've tagged recently & it's not a tag in this post, I have probably totally forgotten or been overwhelmed by everything. Sorry!

I know that Ashley Nicole ("Bramblewood Fashion) & Allison Elizabeth ("Girl of the Prairie") both tagged me for this post - I think more of you did, too, but I can't remember!

Rules: Copy the questions & put in your own answers! Tag 8 people (Eeek!).

What song are you currently listening to a lot?
“Walk on the Water” by Britt Nicole & other tunes on my blog’s Mixpod. =)

What books are you currently reading?
The Eyes of the Amaryllis by Natalie Babbitt
The Bible

What did you do today that was really fun?
Went tag sale-ing! (That makes it sound like a water sport!=)

Do you sing a lot?
I don’t sing in front of anyone…it’s more of a secret pastime. Shhh! I sing along with the radio when I’m in my car!

Sweet or Salty?
Both, but I do LOVE sweet!

What is your current obsession/addiction?
Oh, well, I’d probably have to admit blogging!

What books have you read at least 3 times?
Okay, goodness, I’d have to say mostly kids’ books like Dr. Seuss titles, Madeline books, Tomie dePaola stories, etc. I do love my kiddie books! =)

What site do you always visit when you are online?
Bess’ Bag, of course!

What was the last thing you bought?
A sweet little Wedgwood dish with a dainty pink rose on it! I got it for 50 cents at a yard sale!

List 5 things you love about summer.
No school!
Adventures are waiting to be had!
Swimming!
It’s laid back & cool.
Popsicles & shaved ice – yum! =)

Favorite earliest memory?
My family thinking I was missing in our hotel room. I had just slipped headfirst into the tiny space between the wall & the bed & was utterly stuck. I had to call out (muffled like, I’m sure), “I’m standing on my head, I said!” I must have been anywhere from 2-4 years old. =)

What do you do to change your mood?
Talk to my Father in prayer. Listen to some uplifting Christian music (& sing, if no one’s around=). Take a walk. Take a deep breath. Read my Bible. Remember that God is with me & has a purpose in the storms or doldrums of my life. Be alone.

What was the last thing you ate?
Super yummy amazing caramel cups ice cream!

Do you want to learn another language?
I’ve taken 2 semesters (college) Spanish, but I am in no way fluent! I used to want to learn Dutch…Hmmm…I don’t know.

Five things you can't live without:
Jesus’ Sacrifice
My Family
Ice Cream
Art
Music
(Okay, I could get by without the bottom 3.=)

Find the closest book currently sitting near you, and flip to page 54. What is the 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph?
“In the days to come, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.” –The Holy Bible, Exodus 13:14

What are you looking forward to?
Seeing what job God has in store for me! I’m currently waiting & praying for a job in the field I went to school for. I know He will provide!

I Tag:
Any of my super cool readers who want to participate! Yes, you’re tagged!

  3. Awww, thanks for the comment! Yeah, it has been really hard to reach out to my sister:( She really rejects the Lord. The Lord has been good to me, though by filling that spot of longing to have some Christ-filled sisters which has included you!!!

    I will definitely be praying for your interview! I hope all goes well!
    Sis's in Christ,
    Grace
