i am - the planner chick. at first i bucked the title, it wasn’t cute enough, but then i decided to embrace it. because, well let’s face it, I do plan everything. now don’t get me wrong, in general i’m not obsessive about it, i’ll go with the flow if needed. i do however enjoy planning things out.
*******************************************************************************
i will - tell you a secret i’ve never told anyone, sometimes at night, when i can’t sleep i lay in bed and plan things. take for instance last night, i laid in bed and planned out chick nicknames for all of my friends. i also planned out my baby to be’s nursery, and how i would set it up just in case it was twins! pregnant you may wonder, nope, but hopefully soon to be, and these things do require thought.
*******************************************************************************
i have - pondered over why i am the way i am, i guess i attribute it to a childhood that never held consistency from one day to the next. i don’t tell this to gain sympathy, just to offer an understanding as to who planner chick is. now i take it as one of my gifts from God, i know that He placed this in me for a reason, thus the reason i have decided to embrace it.

i carry - many titles - a wife, mother (step for the time being, soon to have one of my own), youth pastor, secretary, friend, sister, daughter, niece, and about a million others. but what woman today doesn’t hold a ton, i’m pretty sure that it’s mission impossible to do otherwise.
*******************************************************************************
i enjoy - reading, but rarely find the time anymore. i am obsessed with pop culture, i visit the gossip sites daily. i can always tell you what movies are coming out when, who’s marrying who, who’s breaking up with who, who dies their hair, who doesn’t eat, who is hard to work with on set, and the list goes on. i love to cook, but only for those who appreciate it. i need affirmation, i need to be told how good it is. i love sweets… cakes, cookies, ice cream, pastry, you name it. i love musicals, i love to sing the songs, and am constantly scanning the tv schedule to record any that may be coming on. wicked is my current fav musical of all time. i love to sit on my front porch while it rains, that’s something that my husband, son, and i always do together. i hate to exercise, but love the feeling after working out. i strongly dislike practicing the piano, but am excited to advance in my playing.
*******************************************************************************
i would – like to say that I am so thankful for my friends. i love them with a fierceness. we all differ in so many ways, but are as close as sisters. these girls make me laugh, will listen to me rant, cry, and babble. if i don’t see one of them for a week, it feels like a month.
*******************************************************************************
i love - to cuddle in the chair with my little man and watch hannah montana (yes I love it), suite life, and drake and josh. we play games together as often as we can our favorites are battleship, and operation. on nights when my husband is at school we take walks, eat chocolate chip pancakes, and watch a movie. i love him, and love having him in my life. who knew you could love one so much that’s not even yours. what i have with him is so special, and no-one can take that away from us.
*******************************************************************************
i like – to save the best for last. i think everyone thinks that they have a fairy tale romance. and i am no exception to that rule. i met my love when i was least expecting it, i always say that he is everything i never knew, i always wanted (as quoted by Matthew Perry in Fools Rush In). he is my best friend in the entire world, the only person who has seen me in every mood, knows me inside and out, and the ONLY one that I tell everything that i am feeling to. he can read my feelings the minute that I walk into a room. i love him in a way that makes it difficult to put into words. i love watching him to see where God is taking Him, watching (and praying for him) as he is shaped and molded into the ministry for which God has called him. we are going on 4 years in October, and are more in love today than on the day we got married.
*******************************************************************************
i worship – the only living God. He is everything to me, i could not survive a day without Him. it’s funny to look back and see how He has brought everything together in my life. He has delivered me from so much crap that i carried for so many years, and i probably don’t thank Him enough for it. my worship for Him has changed dramatically, he is carrying me deeper and deeper, and I am falling more and more madly in love with Him. something had changed within me, it’s like it finally clicked.
do i get it all, no, to be honest i hope that i never do, not until the day i stand before Him. because then what would be the point in continuing on, i just finally understand where i am at. i think it was my pastor that recently said that you can get to that point where communion with Him is like food to your body, you physically desire it, i want to need Him that much. who doesn’t?
