Questions I've been asked:
1. Why do you love to write?
I enjoy writing because I can share what God has been showing me. Words are so powerful! I love that my words can make an impact on others. Also, I love to write because, well... I guess I have always enjoyed writing, and for me it is super fun!

2. What are the things you're passionate about?
First would be my relationship with the Lord. He comes first! I want to live my life to please Him, and to live my life for His glory and as a blessing for others! :)
My family is also very important to me! <3
I also am passionate about those with disabilities. God made everyone with unique gifts and talents, and every life is special!
I don't know if passionate is the right word for these, but I do love writing, playing piano, teaching, etc... 

3. What was the last historical figure you read about?
Laura Ingalls Wilder. :) 

4. What was a time that you or someone else accidentally did a typo that proved to be hilarious (or embarrassing)?
I think this counts as a typo: I was sending a dear lady at our church a message inviting her to eat dinner with us when she came to watch a movie... And I sent it to the person who I had just sent a text to... Oops! 

5. If there was one place in the world you wouldn't live, where would it be and why?
Next to a live volcano? :D Other than that... Not sure... :) Oh, and not somewhere with a ton of bugs due to unpleasant allergic reactions...

Ask your nominees questions...
1. Why do you like to blog?
2. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
3. What is a funny memory /silly moment from your childhood?
4. Are you working on any other writing projects besides blogging?
5. What is your favorite Bible verse?

Hope you enjoy!
