Blogger Q & A Session

 

 

Now, I left this question, not because I wanted to answer it per say, but rather I wanted to give my opinion on the matter. I am not one to toot my own horn, and really despise questions like this or ones where you have to talk about how awesome you are. It is my belief that a lot of what we do for others will largely go unnoticed by those we are serving. And also, that even if the person we did the good for acknowledges or recognizes our deed, it may not be broadcast for the world to see. And that’s ok. We shouldn’t be doing good seeking reward for it. We should be doing so simply because we are called to love our neighbors and serve them.

 

I am a sucker for margaritas when it comes to a good girls night out! But honestly, most of my “solid” girl time is spent over coffee or popsicles these days. I will say my drink choices don’t really vary with people – just on what kind of night it is. 

 

 

 

Like I said earlier, I generally hate these kinds of questions. However, something that I am continually working on is seeing the good…in everyone. And that includes me. I know this sounds so silly, but I have always loved my eyes. They are blue, but they have this little bit of gold around the pupils that somewhere along the way were dubbed as my “sunflowers”. They change colors depending on  what I’m wearing and can go from a soft tealish green to bright cobalt blue. I think my eyes say a lot about one of the things I take the most pride in as well, yet in a very different way. I tend to be pretty observant and I love that because I always want to make sure everything is perfectly in order whether it’s work, decor, whatever. I love to be organized and being observant really aides in that process.

 

A lot of things. I’d pay off our mortgage. Get my mom the house she wants. Clear any debt my family members had accrued. And ensure my future children would be provided for and have an opportunity to receive the education they desired. I would also serve others in the way it’s always the hardest to provide. I’d take the trip abroad to be in missions. I’d purchase enough food for those in need that cross my path. Enough clothing for those who were lacking. I’d spend my money on helping those in need, not perpetuating those in want.

 

While I have touched on struggles before, and what seems to be a daily challenge, I’d say my biggest struggle in life is trying to truly serve all those around me. To share Christ’s love in EVERY opportunity, not just when I feel like it. To hold my tongue when I want to say something I know is not uplifting. To seek the good in others, and draw it out of them. To live each day to the fullest. Taking one day at a time…if just for today. It is a daily battle to follow after the heart of my King, not sub coming to my human nature, and not waiting until tomorrow to show those around me how much they mean to me.
