Seven Things About Me That You Don't Already Know

I never told you, but this blog is a tag-free zone, unless I really like the tag.  Well, Bobbie tagged me, and I know I can't come up with seven things as interesting as she did, but here they are anyway, because I have just been sitting here taking up space on the planet, and I might as well just post something :o):

 

1. I spent three years of my childhood in France.  I went to French school and translated stuff for my parents.  We traveled all over Europe, and that was the last time I was there! :o(

 

2. The ocean makes me cry.

 

3. I never wanted any children. When I changed my mind, I decided I wanted only boys.  God said, “Honey, you are way too selfish to have boys. Boys don’t take as much selflessness as girls do – you can just send them outside for the entire day.  Girls will require you to spend all day with them.  I know what is best for you and what will make you most happy.  You are going to have only girls!”  He was right, of course, on both counts!  (I am just beginning to realize how full of myself I am. And I wouldn't trade my girls for anything.) I just hope He hurries up with my transformation to un-selfishness.

 

4. I am a pastor’s wife.  I know, I revealed that just recently, but maybe you missed it.  I was keeping it a secret, because, well, people just treat you differently when they know that. I thought I could blog incognito, but as I told my friend, passionforpurple, I never was good at keeping secrets about myself.  I was one of those pregnant women who ran outside and told the whole world when the little pink line showed up on the home pregnancy test! Nevermind waiting til the first three months went by! I was just too happy to keep it a secret!

 

5. Once I interviewed for a job that required things I had no idea about – writing grants for housing rehab and public facilities for small communities.  The boss asked me, “Can you write grants??”  I told him, “I can do anything.”  I was hired :o)

 

6. I have been an insulin-dependent diabetic for 27 years, and I am on an insulin pump.

 

7. I believe the King James Bible is the inspired and preserved Word of God for English-speaking people. (Draw any conclusion that you want to from that statement!)  I know that as well as I know Jesus Christ saved my soul!

 

     Okay, now I am tagging FIVE people:  Tracy (you have probably already done this, but you are such an interesting person you will not have any trouble coming up with seven more interesting things!), Short, Jimmie, Monkeymom, and ShayC.
