~ Last Tag For A While ~

 

My dear sweet friend Heidi Jo tagged me.  I love tags but when life is full as it is for me right now.  So this will be it for tags for a while.

Anyway, there are 4 simple rules to this fun game of internet tag.
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So, here are my 7 random and potentially weird facts about myself:

I am going to change it a bit ( like always).  This 7 random things about me are picked by my 4 sons.

1- She always wants her cooking knives to face left in the knife drawer.

*

2- My mom loves mint chocoates but my dad likes mint and chocolate but doesn't believe God ever intended those two flavors were ever suppose to be put together.  ( Even though there is a mint chocolate plant out there) lol

*

3- My mom never really went on the computer before she started blogging.  Now, she has learned tons and doing all kinds of things on it.

*

4-  My mom ran from gardening growing up.  But in the last couple years she hasn't killed her house plants and that gave her some confidence. My dad has slowly got her to garden and she is actually starting to like it now.

*

5-She likes to visit ( shop) in the city but doesn't like to live in it.

*

6-My dad thinks it is strange that she likes dishes that are all white but the pattern is in the texture ( aka creamware).

*

7- She has a hard time hearing low pitch sounds. ( that tend to be the tones that are spoken by men)

Well, I hope you feel more educated now.  Now that you have some off the wall info about Mary aka Canadagirl.

I tag anyone who WANTS to be tagged.

How fun that you had your kids do it! I should try that too! I wonder what they would say?
I like the look of creamware too, but I don;t have any, it's quite expensive isn't it?

Hello Mary....I hope you enjoy your bird study as much as we have. It's been a lot of fun.

To answer your question, I've gotten my ideas from here and there. Some I've made up, some I gathered on the net and some my hubby made up. It's just trial and error and lots of prayer time. Jesus has a lot of good ideas!!

You mentioned you are in prayer right now, seeking the Holy Spirit about your schooling. Praise the Lord. What better place to be? I completely understand and really just got out of a season of intense prayer time for my own schooling. We needed change and the Lord said now was the time. Not just with school but a new season of growth in other areas. I'm so thankful for His gentle hand that guides when we ask Him to.......I will be in prayed for you and your family for His perfect direction with school He knows......its just up to us to seek Him to find out what His best is for us, not what we or others think Gods Best is.

Big hugs as you seek Him today!!!!

I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
