Honesty Scrap (Thanks Amy!)

Honest Scrap

Thanks Amy!




The rules of the award:
1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with "Honest Scrap." Well, there's no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.
3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself.
The honest things about me:



1. I constantly worry about what others think of me. I know that I shouldn't, but I do.




2. If you don't like me, I tend to want to know why. Not to get angry with you over it, but to improve myself.



3. I honestly don't know if I want to teach for the rest of my working life. I would like to go back to school but don't have the time, energy or finances for it.


4. I have A LOT of jobs: wife, mama, daughter, sister, teacher, at home sales rep, photographer and last but certainly not least are these two, which I consider to be major, Christian and minister's wife.



5. I cannot stop worrying about my mom since my dad passed. I feel like that's where the job of daughter comes in and is never ending.



6. Sometimes being a minister's wife is incredibly difficult but I would never change it. You never know what each day will hold on a normal basis, but multiply that times 100 and you have the life of a minister's wife.



7. I constantly put myself down (and Jeff hates it) and if you have ever met me, you know that I do...I am working on it though.



8. I knew at the age of 14 that I was going to be a minister's wife.




9. I'm beginning to feel very old. Luke will be 1 in a matter or a week and two days, kids who were just born when I started in the youth department at 14 are now IN the youth department under Jeff's guidance.



10. I wish that I had never made a comment the night daddy passed away...after hearing that he'd had a bad day I told God that I was not praying for another miracle because He wasn't going to heal him...and I will live with that guilt forever. (I know that it was God's time to take him, but it still hurts)



11. (I'm doing 11!) My family is the most important thing in my life. You mess with them, you mess with me! Especially now that I am a mama.

Jenn, You are beautiful inside and out! I can't believe that you would ever worry about what others thought of you or would take anyone's advice on how to change! Hold that head up!! Others should be seeking advice from you!! You have always been very respectible and I remember how sad everyone was when you left Callahan and how excited we all were when you came back!!

Your Mom is extremely BLESSED to have you as a daughter and I know that she knows that!!! Your Mom has always seemed to be a strong woman and I'm sure she will be okay.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY :)
