"Tell Me What You Think" Meme

I was trying to think of a fun meme to do since I have been pretty quiet on the blogging front over the past couple of weeks. It isn't that I haven't wanted to post, it's just that I've had a little bit of a writer's slump. I did have some really silly questions in mind, but I wanted to challenge myself with something different. Here it goes:

1. As a child, what did you always say you wanted to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a wife and a mother. I also wanted to be an elementary school teacher. I did all of the three, but I don't think I want to go back to teaching. I taught for 5 years, and I was emotionally drained each day I came home. I think teachers truly have the hardest job on the planet and often the most thankless. If you are a teacher, thank you!

2. If you had to choose one thing that you've always dreamed of doing, what would it be? What is stopping you? I would have something published one day. I have stories, songs and a children's book written, but the thought of doing something with it frightens me to death. It is always about fear with me.

3. Who is your biggest fan? Who is always encouraging you to be all that you can be? My hubby, of course. Other than him, my friend Liana is definitely hands down my biggest cheerleader.

4. What bible study or book (besides the obvious-the Bible) has most impacted your life to date? That is a hard one for me because every study that I've ever done, has helped in some way or another. I loved Breaking Free by Beth Moore. Elizabeth George's A Woman After God's Own Heart truly had a huge impact on my marriage, my parenting, and my walk with Christ.

5. When are you the happiest? I am most happy when I am walking daily with God(in His word, praying constantly), when I speak with kindness and love, when everyone in my family is healthy, when I know that I have truly done my best at something, when I feel God's presence overwhelm me, opening my home to others, giving, and soaking in a hot bath(no interruptions).

I am deciding to tag anyone who wants to join in. I would love to hear your answers and your heart. I thought it might be fun to meet some people who share my name, so Susie, Susie and Susan, please join in.
