Writing Prompts:
(you are not required to do any or all of the prompts! They are just for inspiration!)

1. Are you an extrovert or an introvert? Both? Do you wish you could have more of the other characteristic?
I consider myself to be both, depending on the circumstances. However, I am more of an introvert than an extrovert. I am mostly quite and kept to myself. Alot of time its not easy for me to start a conversation with someone, but I am getting better at it. Now that I have a child its easier because strangers are always coming up to me to compliment Noah.

I just took this test to find out which you are and I am balanced 🙂 Just like I thought.

2. If your younger self could time travel and meet the you of today, what would they think of you? What would you tell your younger self?

I would be dissapointed in how much of follower and not a leader I was. I would be dissapointed in some of the choices I made, but those choices also lead me to where I am, so I cannot have regrets.

Oh there are a lot of things I wish I could tell my younger self. (1) Never let a man abuse you in any way. Watch for the signs and RUN as soon as you see them. You are worth more than that! (2) Believe in yourself, always. (3) God has a bigger and better plan for you, never forget that.

My weekend, ugh. Yesterday we took the kids to the train expo at the Fairgrouds. Noah loves trains. They even had a scale model for the little ones to ride. Noah, lol, just sat there wit

h no expression the whole entire time. It was funny.

There is something I have been meaning to write about in here but I just have not had the time to actually write. I am going to try to do this as quick as possible.

Some may not want to read this because its about Church and God. But this is who I am.

Two weeks ago after the last temp was let go (the one we had to call 911 for) a new temp started, Dinel. Shes older, maybe in her 50s. Very nice, pleasant, polite and brings fresh air to this office. I REALLY like her. She is easy to talk.

Talking to her gives me goose bumps.

There are things I have been feeling since she started. Good things. Things I need to do. Things I need to change.

She makes me curious when I am around her. I ask her about what shes reading, she tells me "The Circle Maker-Praying Circles around your biggest dreams and biggest fears"

So I bought it for my kindle.

She talks about meetings she goes to. I asked her what kind of meeting, its a womans group for her church. I said to her, "Can I ask you where you go to church".

Abundant Life.

Dave’s Church.

Small world? No.

God’s plan? Yes.

Over the past few months my insides have been going stir crazy because we have not been to church in quite some time. Noah has not been dedicated.

Our marriage needs God. Our marriage/relationship was 100xs better when we followed the way we were supposed do.

We need God.

I need it.

I want Noah to need it.

I know I have a lot of readers who don’t really believe. But I do. I need this in my life, in our life and things started changing since Dinel started here.

Work has been stressful but the atmosphere has done a complete 180°.

I have been reading and doing daily Proverb devotionals.

Sunday morning Dave says " Lets go to Church". So for the first time in two years, we went. And it felt amazing to go.

Noah went too. He went to the Nursery for his first time. He cried when I left him. He will get used to it, its just a new environment. Once he realize he can go there and play with toys and others his age he will be ok.

I need to look into getting him dedicated.

Well thats if for now.
