[MN John]

If you could ask Jesus to change an area of your life, which area would it be, and how would you like it changed? How long has this been a concern?

 

[MMXII]

If there was just ONE area that I'd like Jesus to change is my patience level. On some things I can be patient (when I have no control over the situation) but on others I'm very impatient. I think I've been impatient forever (that's why I can't sit still I think). God, please grant me patience...and do it NOW!!

 

[MN John]

What did you never say to you father that you wish you could?
What would you like to say to you mother, but haven't said.

 

[MMXII]

I never told my Dad that I was proud of him, but I was. His influence was and is still great in my life. He was a very Godly man that wasn't that demonstrative with love but I knew it just the same.

I'd like to tell my Mom that the words that she has said and still says hurt sometimes. She needs to encourage more.

 

[MN John]

Do you have a healthy pattern of grieving? Can you think of any losses in your life that you've never fully grieved over?

 

[MN John]

Would you like an easier one?

Do you like peanut butter?
If so, what do you like it on/in/with?

Crunchy or creamy?

 

[MMXII]

I think I have a healthy grieving pattern but there is one thing in my life that comes to mind that still grieves me. I had a miscarriage before my daughters were born and I think about it often. I wonder how that baby would have turned out.

Crunchy or creamy?

Yes I'd like an easier one!! Whew!!

I love peanut butter.

Let's see...syrup, jelly, celery, bananas...I'm sure there are a few more things

Creamy...all the time.

Here's a 10-parter to take your time with ...
Dreams and aspirations are very important. Complete the following phrase ten times:
"If I were to marry I would ..."

 

[MN John]

An easier one ...

What was the last fiction book you read? What was the last nonfiction book you read?

 

[MMXII]

Ahem...'scuse me John...I'm now behind 3 questions...turn off that question thinking button in your brain a while

And you even put them in alphabetical order

I don't think (now this could change) that I'd be into the distance running unless someone was chasing me.

Let's see, I like to:

Read
Take interesting college classes
Travel
Play Scrabble
Go to the beach
Bird watching

Now, could any of those interest you as well? (am I allowed to ask questions in my own FTB?)

 

[MMXII]

An easier one ...

What was the last fiction book you read? What was the last nonfiction book you read?

Predator by Patricia Cornwell and 2 Live 4 by Ryan Dobson. The one by Dobson was pretty good. I'm looking for another that he wrote I think it's 2 Die 4...not sure though. He's the adopted son of Dr. James and Shirley Dobson.

I'm currently reading The Presence by Bill Myers, he's a Christian fiction writer...it's pretty good. Haven't been reading as much as I normally do...wonder why?

Dreams and aspirations are very important. Complete the following phrase ten times:
"If I were to marry I would ..."

Ten!!??!!
If I were to marry I would cherish every moment spent with my husband.

If I were to marry I would make plans and save for trips to mutually agreed upon locations.

If I were to marry I would want to be the best wife I can be...with God's help.

If I were to marry I would be the help mate God has intended for me.

If I were to marry I would wish that you only asked for 5 things I wanted to do

If I were to marry I would encourage my husband to do and be everything that he wants to be.

If I were to marry I would assure my husband that he is loved, wanted and adored in so many ways.

If I were to marry I would want to hike the Applachian Trail with my husband...ok, maybe bits and pieces at a time

If I were to marry I would want to discover new things to enjoy together.

If I were to marry I would take a rest after all these questions...whew!!

 

[MMXII]

The dreaded double post...I go too excited that I had come up with ten!!

 

[MN John]

I like to:
Read

Travel
Play Scrabble
Go to the beach
Bird watching

Now, could any of those interest you as well? (am I allowed to ask questions in my own FTB?)

Why not? I'd like all of those except bird watching. I could be talked into coming along, but it's not that interesting to me right now.

What are three ways that you see you and me as different? What are three ways that you see us as similar? Which of the differences are you most comfortable with? Which are you least comfortable with?

 

[MN John]

One more for good measure, J9!

What would be the hardest adjustment a person would need to make to live with you?
