I was tagged again...

Happy Wednesday~

I was tagged over a month ago by Panda Mom at Pandapalooza with this fun little meme. I am not tagging anybody but invite anyone to join along if they want. Just let me know if you do, so I can read. It is kind of thought-provoking.

Have a great day!!!

I am: a Christian, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a friend

I think: companies like Daisy (sour cream), Dove Chocolate, and Celestial Seasonings Tea are cool because they put simple, positive, encouraging, and thought-provoking messages on their products.

I know: Jesus died for me.

I want: more than I need.

I hate: peaches--the smell, the taste, the thought of them touching anything I might eat. Truly phobic.

I miss: being with family more often.

I fear: losing the ones I love and running over animals.

I feel: blessed.

I hear: the birds tweeting, the hum of my computer, and a dog barking.

I smell: the Aveda hand lotion on my hands.

I crave: chocolate often.

I search for: simplicity in my life.

I regret: not showing more of an interest in things my mom excels at like sewing.

I love: when Lindy puts her arms around me and says, "I love you, Mommy."

I ache: MUCH less now that I am taking meds again for my rheumatoid arthritis.

I care: what others think a bit too much.

I always: come up with a good response after the fact. For example, I am sure I'll think of much better responses to things once I publish this post.

I am not: good at math at all.

I believe: our experiences both good and bad shape who we are and we can use what we've learned to bless and help others.

I sing: jingles for commercials and kids' songs in my head during the middle of the night.

I cry: each time I watch Sleepless in Seattle, Father of the Bride, and any Gotcha Day video.

I fight: the urge to be materialistic and derive my primary pleasure from earthly things.

I win: when I follow God's commands.

I lose: the battle with dust constantly.

I never: have been to Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, or Idaho. I am also not sure about Mississippi.

I listen: to more kid's music than I'd like.

I can usually be found: at home, in the car, or at church with Lindy in tow.

I am scared: of drowning or being in a fire.

I need: to read the Bible and pray in a more disciplined manner.

I am happy about: an upcoming visit with my brother and his family.

I hope: things will speed up in China because right now I am struggling with the wait.
