Q&A

I found this Q&A, and decided to give it a go. Maybe you'll learn something new about me.

1. If you could do one thing differently in your life, what would it be?

I would travel more if I could. I would take my tesol training, and go teach english for 6 months in Guatemala. I have a huge passion for that place, and I am certain I will go back one day. Maybe it will be in 2 years, maybe in 10, maybe in 25. But I really hope to go back. 

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

having babies! or... baby. Watching Mike be a dad. Learning how to be a mom. I see myself being blissfully happy, with everything I've ever wanted. We'll see if that's what God wants for us too. 

3. Do you honestly want kids?

badly. Mike probably couldn't tell you the amount of times I've pathetically whined to him about how badly I want a baby. Not now obviously... but someday. Sometimes I wish it could be now though.

4. What has been the best moment of your life so far?

I can't pick a certain moment, but I can pick a certain time in my life that has outshine the rest. It is the time that I realized that I am nothing without God. Everything changed after that. Meeting Mike, and seeing his relationship with God, and how badly Mike wanted to do God's will, that just showed me how much I wanted that too. God put Mike in my life for a reason, and I'm definitely not letting Him go. 

so best moment = meeting Mike, and falling in love with Jesus.

5. What is your life theme song?

I've been loving this song lately. Seems to describe how I want to be. I want to remember all these lines in this song, and ACTUALLY remember them. 

I want Jesus' arms to be the only arms I run into.

I want Jesus' name to be the only name my heart will sing. 

6. What is one thing you have yet to accomplish that you want to do before you die?

I know this has come up already... but being a wife and a mom. Raising a family.

7. If you could choose one thing to be known for, what would it be?

Being a woman of God. Being someone who Christ would be proud to call His child.

8. If you could do anything you wanted right in this very moment (no consequences, no fear, etc), what would it be?

If I wasnt getting married in a month... lets say I was already married... I'd tell Mike to pack his bags, and we'd go work abroad for 6 months to a year. That has always been my dream.

9. What has been the most challenging moment in your life?

Realizing who I had become, when I was as far away from God as I could have possibly been. I remember thinking that this wasn't the way my life was supposed to be. But I had no idea how to change it. I'm so thankful God stepped in, and that I am now a completely different person. I hardly recognize the girl I once was. I never want to revisit that stage in life.

10. Summarize yourself in one word.

Restored.

Lately.

My life has been pretty busy lately. Obviously I haven't posted in a pretty long time, and there's a lot that has gone on since last time! 

One of these things being... My wedding is in 35 days, and there is still snow on the ground!! This was not supposed to happen... We've been racking our brains thinking of a new place we can have the ceremony if the ground is too wet/it's too cold/outside is ugly because nothing is blooming...

We had a few promising ideas, and it seemed like time after time I was being disappointed because the venue was too small, or there were worries about it being too wet. It had become really hard to trust God that He had a plan in all this. That it doesnt matter WHERE we get married, as long as we GET married. 

That's all that really counts, right?

So we've come to a conclusion on where we would have the wedding, and right now it seems like our best option. We will be getting married outside on the yard of my church. And if God decides to send us rain? We will get married IN His house, instead of right outside of it. Now it is all in His hands, and I am perfectly okay with that! In fact, I'm more than okay with that because His plan is ALWAYS better than mine.

I also had my 2nd bridal shower on Sunday! Which was awesome. My sisters and mom did an AMAZING job of planning and setting up and baking... I love those ladies so much. It made me so happy to have a party like that planned just for me. And exactly my style too. Tea cups and lace and dresses. 

Loved it. 

God is Good. He will NEVER fail us.
