Pondering the List

I was sitting around wondering what my next post would be and then I found Vicky's blog.   She asked if we would like to cut and paste the meme she used and so I thought, why not. It was a list that made me sit back and ponder and you know how I like to do that;)  So. . .here I go. . .

I am:  a woman who still feels like a little girl at times
I think:  that people think too much and should listen and rely on God more (myself included)
I want:  all prodigals to return
I have:  the best husband and two sons I love with all my heart
I dislike: lieing, name calling, bullying, homelessness, fear, the sting that biting cold puts on your 
               skin, drippy noses, lima beans, okra, and sweet potatoes
I miss:  living close to my mom and siblings
I fear:  my husband will die before me and leave me feeling ripped in half
I feel:  tired, sluggish, like I could be vitamin deficient
I hear:  the humming of my computer and the thoughts running through my head
I smell:  the fragrance of my perfume, the gas from my fireplace and the candle burning on the stove
I crave:  sweets, sweets, sweets
I search:  for words
I wonder:  what my boys will do down the road and into their future
I regret:  not having time with my Dad
I love:  to see people coming together to help their 'neighbors'
I care:  about the lonely, hurting souls
I am always:  pondering
I worry:  about so many things (I am still a work in progress)
I remember: the fun, good ol' days on my grandparents farm when my siblings, cousins and I were
                      small
I sing:  low in church and loud in my home (when I'm alone)
I argue:  still, at times, with the Lord when He asks me to step out of yet another comfort zone (did I
               mention I'm still a work in progress)
I write:  to learn, to make sense of things, to encourage, to remember back one day and to give Him
              glory and honor.
I lose:  my cell phone all the time
I wish:  I could be bolder, funnier and more independent and could read a map
I listen:  for that still quiet voice of my Lord when I need direction, guidance, and whenever I sense
               that tap on my shoulder
I don't understand:  why one who was and is loved so much would run so far away
I can usually be found:  in front of my laptop or behind a good book
I am scared:  of creepy, crawly and slithery creatures
I need:  energy
I forget:  all the time
I am happy:  when rocking or swinging on the front porch or out back, sitting by a fire, visiting with
                       a friend, reading a good book to my husband, when hubby holds my hand, when I'm
                       holding chocolate, and when I find cherry mashes in a store.

Now it's your turn.  Make your own list and let me know so I can come read yours.  And remember, don't spend too much time thinking about it.  Ususually what first comes to mind is what you need to write. Don't worry about sounding goofy, or unspiritual, or whatever. . .we are all a work in progress;)

Blessings~

  1. Yayy Kristin- so loved your list- I really feel like I have a better idea of who you are after reading some of these...

    You had me right from the start " a woman who feels like a little girl at times..." I so feel you on this and so many others :)

    Umm- and my utter ignorance will show through- but what is a Cherry Mash? It sounds quite lovely!!

    Hugs to you- thanks for playing along!

  3. I really loved this, Kristin! I feel I know you just a little better now. I'm going to do this, too. Sometimes it's hard to come up with things, but when someone gives you these prompts, it makes it easier. Thank you for this!!!
