Here is today's meme! Saturday 9: So Far Away
1. Where is the furthest place that you have traveled and how far away from home is it?
The farthest I've ever traveled is to Orlando, FL. I graduated from High School in a very small town in a class of 21 students. We took a senior trip (after working Jr and Sr to pay for it) to Orlando, FL; New Orleans, Nashville, Atlanta, GA. It was a lot of fun! I don't know how far it was - the trip lasted about two weeks!
2. What is a blog that you would recommend for us to read and why?
I would highly recommend the blog of Brent Riggs, a Godly man who is an awesome writer. He writes about his family and what they are going through now with their three year old daughter who has leukemia. He writes about finances, getting out of debt - but mostly he writes about God and Godly principles.
3. What is the biggest surprise you ever have had and was it a good one?
The biggest surprise I ever had was when my daughter was born. The entire pregnancy I believed I was carrying a boy. I had only picked out a boy's name, only bought boy's clothes and took boy's clothes to the hospital to bring my baby home. I named my daughter only after she was born and I was able to look into her beautiful little face. My Dad (along with my mom) went shopping for clothes to bring her home in and he actually picked out two outfits for her (which was very unusual for him - never liked shopping!) It was an awesome surprise and she and I share a great relationship even today (she is now 27).
4. What is your favorite quote? (We know we've asked this recently. But there is always another great quote! :)
The Lord will perfect that which concerns me" Psalm 138:8. It is a huge comfort for me to know that God is in control and He will work in all the details of my life, no matter how small or insignificant they seem to me. I matter to Him - and I am so thankful!
5. Have you ever been hospitalized for a major health situation?
I have been hospitalized several times in my life beginning at the age of 11. I had eight surgeries to remove tumors, I had three surgeries for "female" issues, as well as the removal of my so-called "disposable" organs.
6. Do you prefer long hair or short hair for yourself?
I love long hair because there are so many options in styling. My Mom always said a woman should cut her hair by the time she's 25, but that just didn't work for me. I have had my hair short, but prefer long.
7. What was your favorite amusement park ride growing up?
I had two favorites - roller coasters and the tilt-a-whirl. As I got older, the tilt-a-whirl made me sick (all that round and round stuff) and once I developed a heart issue I'm afraid to ride roller coasters!
8. How long do you talk on your phone on a typical day?
I strongly dislike talking on the phone and spend as little time as possible!
9. Other than Saturday 9, what is your favorite meme to do each week?
I like photo memes because I love sharing pictures and seeing pics of other bloggers. I'm not very good at keeping up with memes though.
In His Love and Blessings
