HeartsJoy tagged me. Thankfully, it's fairly simple. I'm supposed to tell 6 random things about myself (thank goodness it doesn't say "fascinating") then tag 6 other people. And, HeartsJoy -- I would REALLY like details on singing with a 300 person choir backing you up. Are you really Sandi Patty?
1) In college I worked as an interpreter for deaf students.
2) I have a degree in Elementary / Special Education. While I use knowledge from my degree almost daily, unless the Lord has a cruel sense of humor, I will never return to teaching in a public school. The reasons are 3 or 4 whole blog posts.
3) I LOVE going on field trips or helping with my kids' classes at school. (don't hear me saying that planning classroom parties is my forte'; it isn't -- but I love to know the kids my kids are around)
4) I am VERY auditorially sensitive -- loud noises and/or repetitive noises drive me nuts. When I'm really physically exhausted, I can feel like I am being physically attacked by a loud noise. (okay, now I'm getting too close to needing a support group) Also, I guess you can chalk this up as one of the 3,472 reasons I won't be going back to teaching public school.
5) I believe that He who is able to do more than we ask or imagine will do just that in each of our lives if we daily die to ourselves and let Him take control. (Sing it with me, "Jesus, take the wheel. . .")
6) I don't understand why, when I know and believe with all of my heart that His way is better, more perfect, and holy, it is so stinkin' difficult to get my SELF out of the way and daily die to self so that He can do more than I can ask or imagine.
Now I'm supposed to tag 6 other people, but I just returned from camping with 42 kids and I'm too tired to think of 6 people and figure out whether or not they have done this. If this appeals to you, please consider yourself tagged and play along (this is like when the kids were little and we would play hide and seek by me sitting on a bench at the park, them wandering away and then "finding me". They loved it!)
