"A"bout time I did this...

I know a few other people who are doing this ABC blog...meaning that the titles follow the alphabet . simple. it challenges my creative side to create fun titles..this first title not so creative. give me a few post to get my creative juices running...

anyways, this blog has been a long time coming. I've discovered the past 2 years that I'm the worst journal person EVER. I will even buy a new journal with the hopes of making it through the entire thing and never do. I literally have about 5 journals sitting in my closet not even half way finished...i guess you could say thats something I collect. ha. the only thing that stinks about not being a good journal person is that I really do enjoy being able to read back on what the Lord was teaching me in 2006 or 2004 or whenever...but because I suck at it I usually only get to read half the story and left hanging. I'm starting this blog because I enjoy typing (much faster than writing) and I'm learning so much right now that I simply cannot go any longer without typing it out. I want to be as consistent as possible....feel free to remind me with a little nudge if I have gone a while without writing. :)

I'm learning so much lately. The Lord has truly opened my eyes to so many things. But what even cooler is that he has opened my heart to change things within my life. For me usually the Lord will reveal things and I will think "Oh that's great and all BUT..." and bam goes the door, not allowing my heart to change. This time around its so different. SO different. What's even better is being able to share it with the people I love that I'm surrounded by. I couldn't imagine trying to do this walk alone. Praise the Lord that he allows for community and has blessed me with some freakin awesome friends.

I don't think I'm going to go into much on this blog....which clearly doesn't make any sense what so ever considering I have so much I want to write....but I also don't want this to be 12 miles long. so I'm going to keep it light & fun...

this is something that Casey did on her blog...so I'm going to do it also! I erased the last 3 rules because it wants me to tag people to continue this game...but whatev.
Here are the Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

My EIGHT facts:

1) i LOVE sweatpants. I have at least 5 pair of pants (all different colors) & 3 pairs of capri sweatpants (all different colors). I think they are so stinkin comfortable. And I'm alllll about being comfortable. I'm sitting here in a pair of my capri ones (ideal for the summer) while typing.
2) When I get up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom I still do the leaping jump onto my bed when I'm going back to my room. I don't want my feet to get to close to the open part under my bed. I think the fear of the monster under my bed as a child has stuck with me...haha.

3) I'm a question asker. So if you come around, expect this. I believe this comes from my passion to want to know people. I promise i'm not trying to be nosey, I just want to know why you are here.

4) I love worshiping in my car. LOVE it. I will turn up the music so loud that I can't even hear myself sing, breathe, talk...all of the above. Many missed calls come from me not being able to hear my phone....

5) I'm decent with keeping in touch with people who are far away. So if you move and we are close expect this. No it may not be every week...but I do want to know how you are. Not just the "oh i'm good" kinda thing either...really want to know how you are.

6) call me crazy...but i think cows are adorable. I love their faces.

7) I desperately want to grow deeper with the Lord. I'm learning He is Enough. He is all I need. I'm growing more intimate with the Lord as we speak. I LOVE how he has perfect timing & displays his control in my life on a daily basis. It's fun to be in a position where I recognize this...all around me.

8) i love dogs. i love puppy breathe. when I "grow up" (ha) I want to have a cocker spaniel and a golden retriever/lab. I love cuddling with my sisters dog....I can't wait to have a dog of my own to cuddle with...once again when I "grow up" :)

There you go. finished. hope you learned something new about me!
come back soon for another post...hopefully tomorrow
