~HONEST SCRAP AWARD~Miss Connie over at The Cottage Loft has passed along to me the Honest Scrap Award. Check out her beautiful blog for lots of love and inspiration! Thank you, Connie!
I'm going to ATTEMPT to share with you TEN HONEST THINGS about myself. If you are a Follower of my Bloggie some of these things you may or may not already know....hope I don't bore you! Here goes:
1. First (and most important to me) is my faith in a healing, loving, compassionate, merciful and forgiving God. I believe in and love His Beloved Son, Jesus. I became a Christian when I was seven years old and have never once regretted my decision to follow Christ. My father is a Preacher-Man and I grew up very involved in my church.
2. I met my husband (my Mr. AGPMan) when I was only 17 and married him when not quite 20. He remains the most kind and loving person I've ever known and I attribute our successful marriage to his gentle spirit, long-suffering ways and his own walk with God. After dealing with infertility I went on to have two children~Brandon (daddy to our only grandchild, Miss K) and Adrienne.
3. I'm a California native and I miss my homeland and always will. I've lived in Texas (my second favorite state), Arkansas and Nebraska (my hubby's birth state). I currently make my home in the beautiful state of Oklahoma. I've lived here for almost 25 years...
4. I am way too sensitive and get my feelings hurt very easily. I don't handle conflict well and try to avoid it whenever I can.
5. I love to sing, especially with my hubby. I love to play the guitar and learned to play the piano by ear.
6. I'm a self-taught painter. However, I watched and learned from the BEST...my very talented mother and her amazingly gifted father, my grampa. I owe them everything. Painting didn't come easy to me and I'm VERY critical of my own work.
7. I'm a sewer of fine things (a fancy way of saying I'm a seamstress). I made my baby daughter's Dedication Gown (Christening) and also gave her the Wedding Dress of her dreams (I'm glad I only had one girl...never again!) :)
8. I'm terribly and woefully insecure. Even so, I've never allowed it to stop me from working towards fullfilling my dreams. Most people would never know...
9. I've learned many a painful lesson from speaking in haste. As a result I'm VERY careful about what I say at present. I want my words to edify and pray they will do that very thing every single day.
10. I dislike the following: Gossip, Weeds, Spiders (this includes anything that creeps, crawls, slithers or jumps), Traffic, Laziness, Arrogance, Loud Mouths, Loud Music (or Preaching!), Intolerance, Impatience, Lack of Decorum when Texting and/or Public Cell Phone Use, Math, Egg Plant, Nasty Language, Tardiness (although I struggle with it myself - just ask Brandon!), Asparagus (really yuck!), SPAM (both kinds), Whiners (ask my kids!), Dirty Windows, Unlit Candles, Artificial Vanilla Flavoring (in anything) and POLITICS!
And there you have it!
I have no idea WHO to pass this along to or who has already participated! So...if you haven't already shared with all of us in Blogland your most interesting quirks and untold secrets, feel free to grab the HONEST SCRAP ICON above and GO FOR IT!
Blessings to you as you speak freely and honestly...Rebecca
