Another award!

Months ago, I was nominated for another blogging award! Wow!  Thanks so much to The Sexy Single Mommy.  Thanks for reading this blog!

As a part of the nomination, I have to share 7 random facts about myself...so here's more about me!  In case you missed the other post with facts about me, check it here.

My Seven Random Facts:

1.  I love to drive - some of my friends jokingly call me a truck driver.

2. I currently live with a Jewish family (and love challah! That is some GOOOOOD bread!).

3. In high school, I was responsible for preparing communion and once used stale crackers for "the body" since we ran out of wafers...should've seen people's faces as they partook...Lord, forgive me...

4. I worked at a local dry cleaners in high school that had segregated restrooms in the 1950s.

5. When I'm out with friends, I have an alter-ego, am a bit loud, and love to make people laugh.  On normal days, I'm very quiet.  I'm definitely an introvert though and get my energy from being alone.

6. I used to be very afraid of dogs when I was a kid...once, I peed on myself while running away from a dog...a dog that wasn't chasing me...

7.  I sang a verse in an R&B song for a friend's album in college.

I was nominated for 2 awards!

WOW! Thanks so much to Brittany at The Jovial Mom AND Comfy Kassi at Journey to a Comfortable Me for nominating me for this award!  I'll post later about the second award!

As a part of this, I have to answer the following:

What do you feel your purpose is in life?

to be a blessing to others in any way possible and to point people to Christ

What is your favorite book?

A Yellow Raft in Blue Water.  The story of a Native American grandmother, her daughter, and her daughter's daughter...surprisingly written by a man

Who or what inspires you most in life?

the God-given opportunities that arise with each day. 

Would you rather donate time or money?

money.  I gladly give time but wish I had more $$$ to give

What are your best qualities?

my sense of humor and kindness

If you were an organ in the body which would you be and why?

the tongue (does that count? lol) because I love talking (!!!) and eating!

Why do you blog?

i like to share my experiences and journey with Christ

What is your greatest accomplishment?

pouring into the life of Lakiya Bottle. I discipled her and she is really making an impact for Christ wherever she lives!  I praise God for working through me to draw her to Him!

Who is your role model/hero and why?

this may sound cliche but Jesus.  He was talked about, lied on, abused, and basically murdered for doing what was right...and that NEVER stopped Him!  His great love for us and obedience to His Father...wow!  I wanna bring glory to God through my life as well.

If you could be anything or anyone in the world, what would it be and why?

a full-time missionary that traveled to many places sharing the Gospel, helping the local church, feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, and so much more.  I just have a desire to help people and to make sure they get the opportunity to hear about Jesus
