One of my favorite bloggers has sent out a Challenge to her "Blog" Visitors - - to describe ourselves in eight (8) different ways.
After reading others - -you'll agree my 8 descriptions are pretty boring ! ! ! Nevertheless, I've accepted the Challenge and here are 8 descriptions of myself:
1. I hope it is evident - - - I am a born-again believer in Christ Jesus !
2. I'm divorced - and very broke (oh well !) I do not cook . As being single-again, I've learned to do many 'chores' around the house ! Some I love doing - - others I hate !
3. I'm 'middle age' (but enjoying it) and classified as a 'senior citizen' (but enjoying those senior discounts !)
4. I enjoy watching "Lawrence Welk Musical" reruns (ever heard of
him ?! ) :) - - - And, listening to my favorite TV pastors - "Charles
Stanley" from Atlanta, GA; "Joel Osteen" from Houston, TX;
"Joyce Meyers" from way up North; and our very own "Larry
Stockstill" (They come on EVERY NIGHT !)
On my list of "Things to Do" is attend one of Joyce Meyer's teachings - when she comes to my area - - - and serve as Volunteer aide - - - She
requires about 150 - - -I love 'behind the scenes' experience.
I truly love attending concerts of nationally known, southern gospel quartets ! I've been blessed with the opportunity of meeting some "top of the line" groups - - (behind the scenes)
5. I am a caretaker for my dad - - (Although this is a very challenging task, it's actually quite a blessing to get to know each other all over again !)
I am also a part-time caretaker for anoter relative. Joy is found in this as together we 'reflect' over past family memories.
6. To the delight of my elderly aunts, two of my relatives and I are in the final stages of producing a "Family Cookbook" in honor of our precious grandma. Now we'll have those good ole' family recipees bound in a book - - that will last for years and years to come !
7. I am a "late-bloomer" - - regarding hobbies)
By this I mean - - I have recently started on my 5th quilt ! - and, have begun really getting involved in my flower garden - - - I had no idea of the relaxation and inspiration afforded by both of these 'hobbies'.
I wish I would have caught this 'virus' earlier !
8. My job - - First let me say - - unlike my sisters - - I graduated 12th grade with D's - - They were 'A+' kids ! (now, let me take this opportunity to tell my sister that I had 'punish work' so much - - it became a habit !. (She'll know what I mean) :) However, despite the odds, I immediately went to work with State Dept. of Civil Service one month after graduation as a typist - - which has proven to be a very successful, marvelous career for me ! I climbed the ladder to that of an Executive Asst. I thank the LORD for the opportunity.
I also served several years as part-time secretary for a local church in my community - - I really grew in the Lord during that time. However, are you aware that church office can be as difficult to work in as a secular office.
As a single person, I must continue to work a while longer. I currently serve as receptionist / secretary for a local, very prestigous company. I truly know the Lord granted me this position - - no doubt about it !
9 Now - - -let me get to the real description of myself.
I wish my family realized what a blessing they are and how much I appreciate them ! I wished they knew what a blessing it truly is to 'sit back' and watch all of their children as they grow into adults with positive life challenges of their own.
I truly enjoy being involved in my Sunday School class.
So no matter the age - or the health - or the life situation - - - it's been proven time and time again - - the Lord has something for everyone to do. I only wish I would have gotten serious earlier in life - - but just remember - God is not thru with any of us yet !
May I challenge you the following:
