Do you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture?

Is that Left Behind type theology? I really don't care either way, so long as I ultimately am with the Lord. however he wants to accomplish that is up to him

next question: how old were you when you first started wearing glasses? did it take a while to get used to them? have you ever considered lasik eye-surgery?

who is the first person you want to see when you get to heaven, besides Jesus?

I was... 14? It was my freshman year in high school, I remember that much. It didn't take very long to get used to them.. mostly because I didn't wear them all of the time. I'd keep them in a case in my backpack during school and only wore them to see the board. Once I started driving, I wore them all the time. I've considered lasik surgery, but my glasses are a huge part of my identity. This summer I'm going to try to wear contacts to see if I can break my dependence on my glasses. That sound so weird and borderline pathetic, but it's the truth

Oh, undoubtedly MADELEINE L'ENGLE, I was just thinking about that this morning.. she is a huge encouragement to my faith, in being real, in being myself.. she struggled a lot with the same things I do, and I just LOVE HER!!!

That's awesome! You must have a ton of patience since you deal with teenage girls.

Do you enjoy traveling, and if so, what are some of most memorable trips?

Haha I don't know if it's patience so much as passion. because I love them so much, I realize that I'm going to have to put upw ith a lot of crap from them.. and I do. But the Lord is glorified through it all, so that's all that matters.

I LOVE TO TRAVEL!!!!!!!!! The first that stands out are my trips to the Philippines where my step family lives. Also, I've been to NY a few times to travel with some of my musician friends who were on tour. This summer I'll be doing a bit of travelling - California with my church in a few weeks, and then I'll be spending 4th of July in Nashville, and I CANNOT WAIT. I've never been there and the people seem so wonderful.

Nice! Nashville is a pretty sweet town. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

What are some of your favorite outdoor activites?

 

[stephanieamber]

You've been there? For what? How awesome is it? haha I'm so excited..

I don't really do a whole lot outside - I enjoy being outside, but usually I just like to drink tea or go on walks or read outside. I'm kinda boring.

Other than Jesus, who is the most significant person who has changed your life?

Hmmm... maybe my dad? He was terrible when i was little but found Christ while he was in jail. Either my dad, my pastor, or Madeleine L'Engle.

I've been through there and stopped by several times while going on trips, but I've never actually stayed in Nashville. Haha, It's pretty awesome. A lot of history there and some pretty cool sites as well.

Nice. I enjoy walking outside a lot too. You're not boring, so don't say that.

 

[stephanieamber]

Ahhh I can't wait for it. Mostly I can't wait to meet the people - my friend whom I'm visiting has told me all about her friends, and I have a few random friends from there and everyone I've encountered first or second hand have all been so amazing. I doubt I'll do much sight seeing or anything.. I've been to NY twice and never checked out anything, haha.. I just like people more than places. But sometimes the places come with the peeps, if that makes sense?

 

[fishin4christ]

That makes sense. It is interesting meeting people from different regions of our country, or in different areas of the world in general. I'm still a big fan of sight seeing though. I'm sorry for derailing your thread.

How many times a week do you eat out?

 

[stephanieamber]

derailing is awesome. just answering questions is almost of no use if you're not conversing about them as well, right??

I actually eat out frequently.. I'm really busy and so it's either a way to spend time with friends or a way to grab something quickly. For breakfast I get starbucks... 5/7 days. For lunch (when I was at work) we ate out.. 4/5 days.. and then for dinner maybe just once. No wonder I'm alwayss broke!

 

[fishin4christ]

Haha, that's true.

Nice. I enjoy going out to eat, but I don't go frequently because when I do I tend to go broke pretty quick. Starbucks sounds really good right now, even though it's like 80 something degrees outside. .

What are some of your favorite places to eat out at?

 

[stephanieamber]

No more Nashville for me over the 4th how sad!!! Right now I'm in CA though.. trying to get work down ,but my brain is just everywhere haha.

SERIOUSLY going out to eat is so spendy - and when did Olive garden get so freaking expensive? It's not even that good. I love 80 degree weather because that means you can get ICED drinks at starbucks!! mmmm.

My fave places to eat out.. PANERA for sure and any mexican or thai food place. I am easy to please for the most part.

 

[toastface_grillah]

CA? I thought you were at camp in Washington...
Never been to Olive Garden, but I've always wanted to try the endless pasta bowl. Panera's a nice place, but the censored internet - totally not cool.

I'm sorry to hear that. How is your trip going?

I'm not a huge fan of the Olive Garden either. They do have good bread though. I've never heard of Panera before. Haha, you must not be accustomed to hot summer days? It's been in the 90's here as of late. It gets a little rough when you have to work outside all the time.

 

[stephanieamber]

oh my gosh. this feels like an eternity ago.

 

[frenzy]

What makes you smile?

 

[stephanieamber]

being around people

 

[toastface_grillah]

What kinds of people make you smile the most?

 

[stephanieamber]

little ones! not like midgets, but bramwell and elias people that make me smile though for real.. are people who are genuine and believe in inside jokes and are creative.

ps sorry i bailed - i am babysitting my pastors kiddos for the week
