Ten Things...

TEN THINGS I WANT SAID ABOUT ME WHEN I DIE


1.) I changed someone's life.


2.) I was friendly and fun to be with.


3.) I genuinely cared about people.


4.) I showed others how to find freedom in Christ


5.) I led by example.


6.) I was someone who could be trusted.


7.) I was honest and open.


8.) I gave God the glory and was obedient to Him.


9.) I was an excellent communicator.


10.) I was a giver not a taker.



TEN THINGS I DON'T WANT SAID ABOUT ME WHEN I DIE


1.) I distracted someone from God.


2.) I was whiny and always complained.


3.) I was fake / hypocritical.


4.) I was critical and judgmental.


5.) I didn't live out my beliefs.


6.) I had low standards


7.) I was a bad leader / I couldn't lead.


8.) I was always scared and cowardly.


9.) I did nothing for God.


10.) I gave up or quit on everything. 


(Grace wrote on my paper "Are any of these lies that you believe might happen?"  and the answer is yes, some of these are lies that I have believed happened or will happen and if I had to write the paper over again I would replace everything but 1, 4, 5, and 6. I did not change the list because I did not have the time and because I felt like God wanted me to be honest with y'all and tell you this.)




TEN THINGS I THINK ABOUT OFTEN.

 

1.) God.


2.) Various things about EXCEL like memories, dreams, etc.


3.) Memories from Advanced EXCEL.


4.) My older brother.


5.) My health.


6.) Regional Training Conferences at Big Sandy. 


7.) What I am going to do after I graduate high school this winter.


8.) Getting my permit and learning to drive. (YIKES!!!!!)


9.) Graduation for Advanced EXCEL. (I totally can't wait for this day.)


10.) What my friends are doing right now. ;-)


TEN THINGS I WANT(ED) TO BE WHEN I "GROW UP."


1.) A gymnast.


2.) A ballerina.


3.) A figure skater.


4.) A secretary.


5.) A counselor.


6.) A public speaker.


7.) A journalist.


8.) A dancer.


9.) An actress.


10. A singer. 


(4, 5, 6, and 9 fall into the "want" to be category while everything else was what I "wanted" to be when I was little. I also wanted to be an astronaut, too. So there is your random comment of the day!) :-)


TEN THINGS THAT REALLY MAKE ME MAD.


1.) Bossy people.


2.) People that have bad attitudes which negatively affect others the around them, like me.


3.) Extremely loud rock music with horrible lyrics that almost succeed in exploding  your eardrums out of your head.


4.) Sarcastic comments that make me feel stupid/sad/insert negative feeling here. (To me, sarcasm is NOT a love language and I only enjoy sarcasm when both parties are involved and the comments are done in a joking, non-serious way. This is purely my own personal opinion and if you think sarcasm is a love language then I am glad that you know what makes you feel loved.)


5.) Being tethered by an IV in my arm in the hospital.


6.)  Obnoxious children and their parents that allow them to act that way.


7.) Abortion.


8.) When I am too tired or sick to leave the house.


9.) Really loud noises (see # 3) that are annoying and irritating like my dog barking at everything including her own shadow, construction and loud machinery, clanging pots and pans, shattering glass, even people who talk really loud.


10.) Awkward moments of silence on the telephone.


TEN THINGS THAT MAKE ME LAUGH.


1.) Hockey, football and any other sport that causes full grown men and women to stand up and shout at the TV as if the players could actually hear them.


2.) The mushy, sappy, romantic parts in movies that are so overdone and ridiculous. (I do not recommend watching a romantic movie with me unless you're ok with my laughing at the parts where you're supposed to go "awwww!" I honestly can't think of any romance movie that I've seen that I don't laugh in the middle of a "serious" moment. Except maybe "Jane Eyre" but that's because I think that movie is creepy/scary.)


3.) Watching my dog run across our wood flooring and then try to stop at the door only to discover that she has no traction and continues to slide into the the wall or the door. It's funny.


4.) Rachel's adorable little sister, Grace who comes up with completely random and off the wall comments. I love that girl!


5.) Older people that try to dress like teenagers and stay up on the current fashion trends.


6.) Bikini swimsuits. (It's a roommate joke, don't ask.)


7.) Little kids in the nursery.


8.) My neighbor's cows that stare at me awkwardly whenever I go outside.


9.) My sister.


10.) Boys, especially my brothers. Boys are funny.


TEN THINGS THAT SCARE ME.


1.) Walking through the house at night because my siblings used to jump out at me in the dark.


2.) This may sound weird but I always check behind the bathtub curtain because someone could be hiding in there and try to scare me. (Yes, I'm paranoid and I blame it on my siblings.)


3.) Someone breaking in my house at night.


4.) Hearing strange noises outside at night.  


5.) Sleeping in a room all alone at night. (Yes, the night scares me, alright. But I do love looking at the moon and the stars.)


6.) Dark rooms.


7.) Rats. (I promise you, I did NOT pray for Huey. Rats are creepy.)


8.) Waking up after a nightmare.


9.) More pain, physical and emotional. If I know it will hurt, I really don't want to do it. (Think Big Sandy camping trip for AE.)


10.) When I get sick again.


TEN THINGS I WANT TO DO IN MY LIFE. (Two have happened!)


1.) I want to go to EXCEL. (About this time last year was when my dad told me I could go. I went to EXCEL 31 last fall.)


2.) I want to go to Advanced EXCEL. (Currently happening.)

 

3.) I want to go serve a missionary overseas as a nanny, housekeeper, etc.


4.) I want to be a team leader for EXCEL.


4.) I want to get a major in psychology/counseling with TELOS.


5.) I want to work at Headquarters with IBLP for at least 1 year but preferably 2.


6.) I want to be a wife and mom.


7.) I want to work on permanent staff at the Dallas Ministry Center (I really like this place, can you tell,)


8.) I want to get a Mac laptop computer of my own. (Shallow, I know but I really do want one!)


9.) I want to visit all of the ATI Training Centers. (I've only seen two so far...)


10.) I want to work in Big Sandy with the ALERT Cadet office and help with the Regional Conferences (I think it would be SO cool to get to carry one of those walkie-talkies.)


(These are in no particular order just so you know.)
