MY 11 FACTS
- I’m terrible at spelling. So grateful He laid the brilliant idea of spell check on someone’s heart.
- I am a photographer by trade, writer by trial.
- DIY home improvements are an obsession. I’ve laid hardwood floors, gutted and fully refinished a bathroom, created nooks in walls, added glass to kitchen cabinets and much more.
- I have a great love for all things teal/aqua/mint.
- Cooking is a nasty chore, but I like baking. Can’t figure that one out!
- Christ invaded my heart with a hangover. There are no limits to His sea of amazing grace and love.
- I have a lazy, nearly blind left eye.
- When I need to relax, I take a nice warm bath with a book or a soothing stroll through Hobby Lobby. It’s magical!
- I became a single mama at sixteen. Though hard, I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
- I’m hooked on journals, books, pens, and planners. The texture, color, and design draw me in.
- I struggle to live in the moment. But God’s working to change that fact.
MY ANSWERS
- What is your favorite distraction?
- Pinterest, by far! One might call it an addiction!
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
- Wherever the Lord leads. He’s taken me on journeys I fought against and cried through, but with each step, I’ve learned so much more about His heart.
- What do you most love about blogging?
- The ability to spread God’s love and encouragement. To know someone might “stumble” upon a post and God speak to the depth of their heart is a humbling thought.
- What is the best blogging tip you would like to share?
- Jump in! If God is leading you to blog, He will give you the words to fill the posts. So, run and dive in feet first before your head has a notion of telling your feet to stop. The Christian blogging community is waiting to cheer you on!
- If you could go back in time, what period would you live in and why?
- Same period but I would do things so differently. Live life without limits. Breathe courage where fear invaded. Speak up when the enemy told me my voice didn’t matter.
- What was one of the scariest moments of your life?
- My brother’s death. The finality of a loved one’s death without Christ is a scare like no other.
- What is your favorite morning drink?
- Coffee, with a side of coffee! Is there any other??? 🙂
- If you could choose your last meal on this earth, what would it be?
- Spicy shrimp pasta, spicy hummus with pita bread, large (make that extra-large) piece of pecan pie and a side of Blue Bell Cookies & Cream.
- How would you describe your biggest fear?
- Overwhelming. Speaking in public is my greatest fear. Guess it goes back to the enemy’s lie of not having a voice.
- What is the most exciting thing you have ever done?
- Become a mama. The excitement of watching the world through their eyes is a thrilling way to spend life.
- How many states have you visited?
- Eleven, but I’d love to visit them all.
