September 23, 2007 - Blogger Friend School Assignment #1

I just joined the Blogger Friend School 2007-2008 over at Training Hearts. I am joining late so I don't think I'll be able to do all the assignments that I've missed so far. I will start with the first and then see how well I can catch up. OK, now on with assignment #1!

A. Give a brief introduction paragraph on how you got started blogging and your personal goals for journaling.

I got started about a year and a half ago after reading a friend's blog. I wanted to have my own place online where I could write about my own life experiences, and it's kind of exciting (and scary) that other people can read it! My personal goals for journaling are to be consistent in posting new entries, and to always be honest and open about how the Lord is working in me and my family.

B. Share a "dream" place to blog in picture if you can.

In front of a fireplace....

At a lodge in the Upper Peninsula...

Drinking hot cocoa...

C. Answer some questions to tell us more about you:

1. What time do you usually blog? Usually late at night after everyone else is sleeping.

2. What is your favorite drink? Hot Tea, either a mint variety or Earl Grey depending on time of day.

3. What is your favorite book? Besides the Bible, I really enjoy the whole Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. My favorite from that series (although it is hard to choose since they are so unique) would have to be The Silver Chair.

4. What is your favorite dessert? Tiramisu

5. Share a scripture that has been an inspiration in your growth with Christ. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside the encumbrances and the sin which so easily entangles us, that we might run the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1 I am so easily hung-up by my own sin and shortcomings. It is amazing how quickly I can lose my focus but this verse reminds me why I need to press on. It's not for me, it's all for Him!
