Liebster Award from Bethany!

Bethany, from Liberty or Death, nominated me for the Liebster award! Unfortunately I have no one to pass it on to...but nevertheless I can answer her questions! :~) So here we go!

1.  Would you share a favorite quote and a favorite Bible verse?

My favorite quote would be this: When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong along with the fearful, the true mixed in with the facade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way. -- Fred Rogers

My favorite bible verse? I have too many.... I'd have to say 1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.

(And if anyone really knows me, they'll know I stole both of those off my email signature ;~)

2.  What would you like to accomplish before the year is over?

I'd like to finish going through the Bible again. I'm in Isaiah now.

3.  What is your ancestry (e.g. German, Italian)?

Off the top of my head, all I can remember is Welsh, and Chickasaw/Choctaw.

4.  What is your favourite genre of music?

I'm currently in love with hymns!

5.  Do you have a favorite bird or flower?

Roses!! :~D

6.  What is the most encouraging thing anyone has ever told you/or that you've ever read?

Probably the sweet scrapbook with pictures, quotes, and notes from my friends that I received for my birthday.

7.  What is your go-to meal for when you need to cook something quickly?

Toasted/grilled cheese!

8.  Do you have a favorite word?

Yep! ;~)

9.  What is your favorite tv series?

Get Smart with Don Adams and Barbara Feldon!

10. If you could have a gift card to any clothing store, including online, what would it be for?

Dress Barn, I think...I like their skirts and dresses.

11. If I were to visit you in your hometown, what would be the first place you'd want me to see?

The lovely walk through town to the bank, post office, and library. Then we'd swing by the Antique Store since I know you love antiques! :~D

Thank you, Bethany!!!

#profoundlyloved

The lovely Jana from Jana's Faith tagged me to answer 10 questions and then pass on the #profoundlyloved tag. So here are the questions she gave me and my answers:

1. tell me about someone you love, and why.

Oh this is hard....I'll go with my Mom. Why? The cliche answer would be because she's my Mom, but she's so much more than just my Mom! She's someone who is wise, clever, smart, funny, beautiful, crazy as I am, and just a wonderful lady who loves to serve God!

2. what is one thing you do that makes you feel all like "man, I could do this forever" when you do it?

Dance and sing!! Technically it's two things, but they kinda go together....

3. what do you love about yourself?

I'm actually slightly stumped with this. Probably that I have a desire to encourage and pray for others.

4. what advice would you give to someone who doesn't believe she/he is beautiful?

I'd probably share 1 Samuel 16:7 with them.

5. what is the best piece of advice you've ever gotten about confidence?

I've probably gotten many pieces of advice about confidence, but I can't remember any of them.

6. If you were your own daughter, what advice would you give yourself? 

Proverbs 3:3-7 is a good reminder to always have; follow God!

7. a verse, poem, sonnet, ancient-old proverb that inspires you to love yourself and others?

When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong along with the fearful, the true mixed in with the facade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way. -- Fred Rogers

Alrighty, I'm supposed to tag 10 people, but the only person I can think of is the lovely Bethany from Liberty or Death. If anyone else would like to join, please do so and share with us your answers!
