Today I'm participating in a Blog Party to celebrate a friend's blog buddy who has adopted one of God's children. I'm linking up to her blog and could even win some really cool prizes so if you're interested you should link up too by heading here: http://filledwithpraise.blogspot.com/2010/06/lets-get-this-party-started.html
All you have to do to participate is answer 5 ice-breaker questions. Here are my answers..
If you could have dinner with any person (past or present) who would it be?
Well, I have thought about this before and the face that always pops in my head first is Dad. I feel, as an adult, that I never got a chance for closure.Yet it is this experience that made me who I am today. I try to tell people daily, that I love them, as you never know when that will be the last time you see them here on earth. So, I know God has a plan, but I miss him dearly and I would love to hear him tell me "I hung the Moon" just once more. Maybe those will be the first words I hear when we meet again.
What is your most embarrassing moment that you are willing to share with the blogging world?
You found a machine that allows you to fast forward your life to a moment or to rewind your life to a certain moment, but it can only be used for one moment. Would you fast forward or rewind and to which moment would you choose?

What is your most embarrassing moment that you are willing to share with the blogging world?
Embarrassing moment....well...I have many...most involve my brother embarrassing me in one way or another, but isn't that what older brothers are for? I recall once, while at the pool, he flipping me out of my float and my top coming off. He laughed...I fumed!
If you could only use one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
Grateful...I am truely grateful to God each and every single day. Grateful for the big things and 
the small things. Grateful for another day to watch my kids grow. Grateful to teach. Grateful for a wonderful family. Grateful for life. God is SO good to me. Even when I feel like my plate is full, I try to remember God trust me to handle everything I am given and I am grateful for the opportunity. Most of Gratitude is "atitude". “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” How can you not be grateful?

Well, rewinding w
ould change who I am NOW and fast forwarding might change how I will be in the fuure, so I think that I am one of the few, who ,given the choice, would do niether. You see I have but a small picture of God's big plan. I know if he wanted me to know more of the plan, I would see it. I have faith in that, so why would I change. Life is to short to FF>> through it and the past is just that, the PAST. If you <...be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5). So I am content.

I have so
many simple blessings in my life! I am truly BLESSED! However, one of my favorite simple blessings is when Maxwell crawls in my bed early in the morning and sticks his COLD, yet soft feet in between my knees and throws his arm around me and we snuggle. It gives me such joy to know that he wants to "comfort me" with his arm around me and me to comfort him by warming up his feet.

I thought it would be easy to answer them. However, more than anything it was REFLECTIVE! So thanks for sharing Angela. Glad I took the time to do this tonight!
