It's a tad late to wish a Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily. I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...
I should have named this post "2nd round of questions and answers". But it's so fun to do this with bloggers as it gives us a way to get to know one another better doesn't it? If you missed my first round of questions see post http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2014/05/talk-to-me-thursday.html
So let's get started....
Have you always had short hair?
No. Actually I had long hair for a long time. Matter of fact at one point it was almost down to my behind! But as I begin to cut it I kept getting shorter and shorter! NOW, I love my maintenance free short hair to be honest!
Do you really wear makeup and jewelry when deer hunting with your husband?
YES! You never know who might be looking at you! AND....If I get me a big old Buck I gotta look for my picture now don't I?
I even have some bling on my boots!
And a camo tube of lipstick!
Would you rather watch television or read in your spare time?
I would rather read. I would be willing to say that I probably watch no more than 4 hours of television a week and that is stretching it. I am just not your average television person. It has to be a really good show or movie. When I do have the time my favorite thing to watch is the cooking shows (Rachel Ray my fav) or NCIS...YEP...a Gibbs fan! When I am not teaching in depth Bible Study classes is when I really like to READ! Right now I am reading "The Power of Praying for your Adult Children" and have two others waiting on me! Love to read!
Would you consider yourself to be more laid back or somewhat hyper? LOL! I tend to be HYPER there is no doubt. However, age has a way of slapping the hyper right out of ya!

Is there a state or country that you would like to visit?
There's quite a few places I'd like to go to be honest. But I am a TRUE Homebody at heart. About 3-5 days of being gone is good for me and I began to long for my BED! There is no place like home. But in answer to the question, yes, I would love to go to Hawaii one day.

Is there something that truly gets under your skin? Give answer to the first thing that comes to mind.
Ooh....I didn't have to think about this one long at all. In all honesty the one thing that tends to get under my skin is when I see, hear and sense people being selfish. I don't mean necessarily with money or gifts but I am just talking about being PURE out ALL ABOUT THEMSELVES!
The dictionary defines selfishness as:
self·ish
devoted to or caring only for oneself;
concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless
of others.
characterized by or manifesting concern
or care only for oneself: selfish motives.

Since you have taught women in a Bible Study setting for years what is the one thing that you see many women struggle with?
In all honesty, I see women struggle with being who God created them to be. So many women tend to compare themselves to others and their measuring stick is based on someone else. In essence if we want to compare ourselves to anyone it needs to be Christ. Our goal as Christians should be to become more Christ-like daily and not more like so and so. We should have a desire to mimic others with the good qualities of the Christian life for sure. But we cannot be another person!
Women...with all our flaws and failures....was created by God Himself. We are to simply be ourselves.

I always like to learn more about someone! I can't imagine you with long hair, your style just suits you perfectly. Love that bling on your boots!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy!
ReplyDeleteWell, I just totally enjoyed myself with this post! I love to hear more about other bloggers. I too, love your camo bling. But, I really loved your answer to the last question. I know I have fallen into that category of 'comparing" myself to other women. thinking I should be like them. That is when I have to step back and regain a perspective of who I truly am.
I hope you have a wonderful day! Hugs, Diann :)
Now I want to see pics of you with long hair. I love your bling on your boots... you're too cute! I would love to be in one of your Bible study classes.... that would be so awesome!!

Enjoyed reading to know about you. You look cute in short hair. I too like short hair. Maintain them is easy. Nice to wear jewellery when going out.

Loved your post. You must be one fun person to be around. We should be neighbours.

Love this, Cindy!! I don't go deer hunting with my hubby (or kids). I'd wear that make up, too, and I'd have to get up too early to get ready! I just take THEIR pictures when they get home! Hope you're enjoying the weekend!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this post, Cindy. Giggled out your cute boots.Fun to know more about you.
