Kristi did it

She tagged me. My old college friend who lives hours and hours away from me tagged me days and days ago. I'm so glad she has a blog now so that we can keep in touch. So I've been meaning to write this post, and I am finally sitting down to work on it.

I am...
a Christian, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a nursery coordinator, part of a big family, and more.

I want...
to love & know Jesus with all my heart, to be like Christ, to be a great wife, mother, daughter, friend, ect. (see above).

I have...
a wonderful husband and two small children.

I wish...
I didn't sin so much and that I was better at hospitality.

I hate...
my sin and the effects of sin in the world.

I miss...
Johnny's family (immediate & extended)--most of them live on the west coast, which is far away from here and also my dad who has been working in Las Vegas for months, but he came home today for a few short weeks.

I fear...
death though I'm trusting in Christ for salvation and the pain I will feel when those whom I love die.

I feel...
hungry. Why do I always get hungry right before bed?

I hear...
the computer fan. My children are asleep. My husband is on his laptop in bed.

I smell...
nothing.

I crave...
chocolate.

I search...
the Internet for information on food allergies and schools and homeschooling.

I wonder...
what my house would look like if I could decorate because I'm really not good at it.

I regret...
asking Johnny to arrange the free airline ticket to Oregon before we purchased the remaining tickets. When I clicked to buy the remaining tickets, the airfare had changed by a lot. Mainly, I regret the sins I've committed against God, my husband, children, siblings, and parents.

I love...
Jesus, who saved a wretch like me and will save all the wretches in this world (that's everyone) if they'd only agree with him that they are wretches, trust him for their salvation, and treasure Jesus. I also love Johnny, Henri, Cosette, our parents, siblings, extended family, and our friends.

I ache...
because I got on the treadmill today.

I care...
that the lost would be saved.

I always...
sleep for some amount of time within a 24 hour period.

I am not...
able to draw or sew or decorate the way I wish I could.

I believe...
that the Bible is the word of God, fully inspired and without error.

I dance...
not as much as I used to. Johnny & I met because of tap-dancing. Thanks Rach!

I sing...
at church, with my kids, and in the car.

I cry...
not often. The tears come in waves. I've never been able to cry as easily as I wish, but when the tears start to come, they pour out.

I don't always...
make my bed.

I fight...
getting up in the morning and also getting on the treadmill (I am so happy that we have one though).

I write...
pretty much only on my blog.

I never...
have had blonde hair. My kids get theirs from their grandmothers.

I listen...
a lot more than I talk when I'm around people I don't know well. I'm more of an introvert.

I need...
to finish this and go to bed.

I am happy...
right now.

I tag my younger sister, Jaime.
