Zoom on in and meet and greet - Tag game

Let's take a minute and tell each other about our passions in life. Then I am only going to tag some people. Share about yourself, where you came from your roots, where you are today and where you would like to go in the future.

There are no rules - You can tag as many people as you wish.

You do not have to know the person to tag them.

Everyone is also welcome to post even if you are not tagged, but then you must tag someone else.

I hope everyone has fun here and that we can all get to know each other by more than a blog handle.

`````````````````````````````````````````````````

How do you tag someone:


To create a link type in brackets the following photo (then the persons username)

Example [ photo Indescribeable ] Don't forget to delete the spaces.

Then go to the bottom of the page and find the post number of this post. Copy and paste this number and place it on someone else's blog - That will notify them that they have been tagged.

Let's have some fun!


`````````````````````````````````````````````````

I'll start it out -


MY WORK: I retired from the Mortgage Industry 3 years ago after 26 years of dedication and I am enjoying the flexibility that divorcing myself from this line of work has provided and am delighted in seeing what each day brings both good and bad. I am learning about living simply now due to the lower income stream and finding that no matter what you make you can still have peace with yourself, your family and your surroundings. Presently I have gone back to work and work two part-time jobs so they keep me quite busy.

MY LOCATION: I have lived in Florida the majority of my life. I lived in Hawaii for one year with my . I have traveled to a few other places but there is no place on earth that I have found better than the island of Hawaii. I love the culture, the people, nature, mountains, waterfalls, streams, rainbows, stars in the sky that shine so bright where no city life can be heard. Warm climates are my preference. 80 degrees constant with a warm breeze, birds chirping in the background is just fine with me watching the eagles fly by and the squirrels picking up nuts on the ground.

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: My family heritage was Episcopalian, I was raised in the Grace Lutheran Church and Lutheran school and attended a Christian college. I have been a Christian since I was a wee and I am blessed. Within the last two years I have served as a Sunday school aid in the 3 year old Sunday school class. Other things I have enjoyed is praise and worship music, home fellowships and my old Kayak ministry.

EDUCATION AND WORK: I attended George Washington University in Washington DC and Florida Southern College getting my degrees in Economics and Finance. While there I also worked a full time job on Capitol Hill for a computer database company and lived in Alexandria in a town called Crystal City.

PASSIONS IN LIFE: What really makes me happiest is being in the garden and creating natural surroundings that are appealing to our senses of sight and sound and touch, writing, computer stuff, programming computers, counseling people in need, listening to Christian music and singing, playing the piano, a little art, bling, color boxes on the blog, marveling at animals behaviors, stained glass, being with good friends just doing nothing, nature photography, travel and adventure, cultivating orchids, kayaking and quiet walks with the Lord. I have a who will be a senior in high school next year who lives with me.

MY SURROUNDINGS and INNER THOUGHTS: I like my surroundings to be calm, people that are around me know that I prefer to have gentle, silent, loving and kind people around me. I also like being around people that will let me be me.

I try to avoid confrontation and don't care for debating. My heart most wants to help others and share about Jesus in a more quiet way and to have a companion who shares the same desires, however, I am content to wait; open to His will and waiting patiently for all of the parts to be placed into the puzzle.

BC is a vehicle for learning and sharing, a vehicle the Lord has provided to protect me; a place to make friends and perhaps teach something-actually anything to make a difference in someone else's life even as small as it may be.
When you have been single for a long period of time not conforming to the world it is very easy to get addicted to a computer instead of real people in real life. We must all be mindful of this potential addiction and try to live a life of balance. I am looking forward to the day when I am not single but united with the one I will live the rest of my life with sharing everything that I have learned and learning what I have not.


HERE ARE THE PEOPLE I WOULD LIKE TO TAG:

Wow!

I was tagged again! - And by someone I greatly admire - so, thank you, Meow!

As for a little background, well, some of you already know these things, but for all others, here is my immediate information:

My Work: I work for a small marketing and consulting firm that has been in business for over 30 years. We service the flooring industry, and being as how Dalton, GA, is the carpet capital of the world, I make frequent road trips!

I enjoy what I do - but it is NOT my passion - and in fact, I would really hope to one day find a way to actually support myself financially through application of my passion - bit that is a little hard to do when one's passion is not so easily defined or structured for employment! (it's either that or marry a man who is established enough to allow me to pursue these things without undue financial hardship upon our family! - here's hoping he's out there somewhere!)



My Location: I live in a northern suburb of Atlanta - Kennesaw, GA - actually on the city line between Kennesaw and Marietta, GA - and it is a beautiful place!

Georgia in general is one of the prettiest states I have ever lived, and I really enjoy being here. There is plenty to do and involve yourself with, and also plenty of wonderful people to meet and share your daily walk with!

My relationship with GOD: well, I would have to answer as Meow did - in that it is not where I wish it to be, because I wish it to be 'perfect' - but I know that I am not perfect, and that this relationship is certainly not going to be perfect while I am still in this flesh!

But I love my relationship with GOD! - For it is the MOST secure and absolute relationship that I will ever have!

I love the people in my life as well - but oh! - how I love HIM! I wish to share something with you all that I may or may not have ever shared before - I just don't remember (?)

anyway, it is this: Despite all that has ever happened in my life, and some of it has not been good - I have never had an angry moment with GOD!

and I can only praise HIM for that! Because it is not of me - I know this!

I suppose what I am saying is that I have never felt that I needed to be angry with Him for the things that He has allowed into my life - for some of it had to have been allowed through His perfect permissive will - even though they were not good things - for He allows 'bad' things to happen - and our job is to walk in obedience and continue to trust Him!

I want to do this for my entire life - and I hope that 10 years from now I can still honestly say that I have never felt anger toward the LORD over my circumstances. - Mind you - not because it is sinful to be angry with GOD - for I do not find such a position in scripture - I am just thankful that MY personal struggles have not ever included that!

It has been a great blessing to me - for I react so poorly when I am angry, and I know that unless He had spared me of this emotion toward Him, I would be in far worse shape than I am today - for surely I would have "blown it!" and heaped even greater consequences upon myself - all rightly deserved!

now, My Passion(s)!:

wow - well, Truth! Truth and knowing Truth - gaining knowledge and understanding, finding and receiving wisdom from GOD - and sharing all good things that He teaches me!

I have a passion for Truth in all its forms - and I wish to expose the lies of the enemy! For we are told to have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, BUT RATHER EXPOSE THEM!

I have a passion for defense of Truth! A passion for defense of righteousness! A passion for what IS right, and a passion to stand firm against that which IS WRONG!

I have a passion to be useful - to be helpful - to be a leader and an example setter - even though I know that I will fail at times -

My passion is to know HIM - to grow in HIM - to be like HIM! - for HE IS TRUTH!!! In all capacity, He is Truth!

so - I seek to inform - to encourage in a direction of Truth - (which doesn't always come across as encouragement, and I am working on that - I am sometimes far too pragmatic, and not near compassionate enough in my delivery - but I simply do not have any patience for intentional and willful ignorance! - pray for me as I am pruned in these areas.)

I love to write - I love to meet people - I love to share and understand from others -

Finding reason and logic and connections throughout life absolutely fascinates me!

being at peace with myself and this fallen world is a pursuit within my passions, for I believe it critical to a productive life as His child - but this is a hard pursuit for me - as I am not at peace with the world at large, nor am I always at peace with myself - for when I walk in the flesh, I usually don't like myself very much at all!

Know that when I say "being at peace with the world" I do not mean that I am comfortable with the adherence to sin - or the endoresment of sin as lifestyle - but rather simply being at peace with the fact that THIS is the world that HE grew me up in - and that THIS is the world wherein my tasks must be carried out -

I hope that makes sense!

So - if anyone has any ideas about how to convert these passions into a productive and income-producing pursuit - PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!



Oh, and one more thing! Pete, you ought to like this one!

I am madly passionate about my feline friends! Love'em! I only have one now - but what a cat he is!

I have always had cats - I blame my parents! (there is a picture of me as an infant with my father's Siamese cat draped across my body - so, you can see that it started when I was very young - and that I had nothing to do with it!!



so - I will now find four people in a separate post to tag as well!

Thank you all for reading, and really great adaptation of the Tag game, Indescribeable!

Sincerely,

Frances

Hi there,

your comment speaks volumes, Indescribeable -

for on the one hand it is a wonderful compliment! and I appreciate it tremendously - but on another, it tells me that you are not reading who I am from my other posts - which in some light is ok - as it really isn't about me -

but in another light it causes me some concern, for I do wish for people to see me for me - in all of my posts, for they are all examples of who I am -

does that make sense?

I am a very forthright person - and I mean everything that I have written above regarding my passions - I would have hoped that even through the very controversial position that I have presented one would be able to discern my motivation and the presence of character-

but I am finding that most here are not at all able to do that - which naturally causes me to wonder why?

is it because I am so assertive in my approach? I do know that I have taken a very strong stand in how I have presented and defended things - and I suppose that some could assume that assertive means the same thing as aggressive and harsh - although I have never understood it that way

or could it be that most can't see me, my character or my true motivation because their hearts are already so wounded that to read something as 'heavy' as some of what I have presented simply causes them to become angry at me?

You see, I am very grateful that you see "a lovely person with character" - for that is what we all want others to see -

but I am very sad that it is "a side of[me] that [you] have not seen yet."

Does that make sense?

Well, in all my postings I have truly been motivated by the very passion that I described above - and I did think that in several of my blog posts during this past year it would have been evident to others that standing beside the firm conviction was indeed a lovely person with character -

standing firm in favor of GOD's glory through death to self-will and flesh should not preclude being a lovely person with character - should it?

but maybe to some here it does?

you have given me a great deal to think about, indescribeable - and I am truly grateful for it -

thank you -

Sincerely,

Frances

Frances, I am just glad to know you a little better. I have only been around BC for four months and we have not typically run in the same blogging circles so I can honestly say that I have not read many of your blogs and the ones that I did read left me the impression that you were a very bright person who articulated themselves well. I do take notice once I am introduced formally, like this. Thanks, Pete. I am grateful that this particular blog brought each of us together in fellowship. Who would have known that a silly tag game would have opened this door. I will definitely take some time to read your blogs.

It seems we have not heard from a few of you guys. Where are you?

ok my dear, sorry not at the computer much lately other then to do my blogs and then get into bed for a few hours of sleep before the next day, hahahaha, lets see if i can follow your guidelines.

My Work: I drive for the county here that i live in. i am a school bus driver. I don't have a regular route so i fill in for others when they are out. right now my normal schedule has been get up at 3:30 in the morning, get the kids dressed and fed for daycare, drop them off, get to work at 5, find out what i am doing and normally i don't get home until 6:30 or so in the evening, that gives me enough time to cook dinner, bath the children get them into bed at 8 and then try and catch up on some housework, laundry, internet, emails etc, for an hour or so before i pass out and start the next day, hahahaha

My Location: right now i am on the west coast of florida in a city called cape coral. i have been in florida since 75. from 75-90 i was in palm beach county, from 90 to 99 i was in alachua country, from 99 to 05 i was in england with the military as a contractor and since the first of this year i have been in lee county back to florida. i am trying to have a house built and this is where i will die i hope, hahahaha.

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD: I was raised in an black church full gospel as our maid use to take my brother and sister and i to church. over the years i have been with many denominations just to see what they have to offer. i have been a childrens pastor for the last 15 years or so. i was saved at 13 years old and unfortunately have back slid more times then i care to remember. but i am refocus once again and have been for some time but i can always do better or more then what i am doing at the present time.

MY PASSIONS IN LIFE: What really makes me happy, my children and grandchildren make me very happy. i have learn to live simply and enjoy the little things in life that i didn't do when i was younger. i use to be a workaholic and that was bad. i enjoy singing, i play the guitar a little, wish i could play the piano that would be a wish i would love to do. i love to travel but dont have much time for it right now. but mostly i love helping others.

MY SURROUNDINGS and INNER THOUGHTS: i would love for life to be easy but so far in my life it never has been, hahahaha. so i deal with each situation one day at a time as that is all i can do. all i want is truth and honesty out of anyone, don't try to impress me, no need to do that. just be yourself. as i said earlier i just want to live simply and enjoy life. i am done with the material side of life, i have just what i need to get by and i am happy with that. i would love to hear the Lord just as clear as i hear others on the phone but i don't always get that so i keep praying for a better understanding.

May the Lord bless you and keep you

Thanks for the tag, but I don't have a clue how to tag anyone else. Besides, aren't all the best ones chosen???????????

Seems redundant for me to repeat what all can read in my profile....so I'll be brief.

My work) I'm a mural artist and travel all over the world painting *ta-dah* murals. Haven't touched a canvas for years. My sons are disappointed since most artists become really really famous after they die, and my sons said they can't sell someone else's walls to make a mil or two.

Location!!!!??????????) Which week?

My relationship to the Lord) I think He makes a pretty neat friend.

My passions in life) Is this a G-rated site? Oh, OK, I guess I happen to like my kids and I LOVE my grandkids!

My surroundings and inner thoughts) I'm surrounded by idiots!!!! (probable soulmates, eh?) Inner thoughts? Hmmm. I gave someone a piece of my mind once and ended up with nothing left up there.

Ah, let's see., I have always worked with Youth, children, babies, adolescents.,Began with babysitting/Child Care., Have been employed at a Crisis Center for high risk kids, I seem to be at my very best when I am helping others in any way I possibly can...I mainly work with kids withBehavioral Issues, etc

Cynamun thank you for reposting your life tid-bits on this strain of blog. I find your life very interesting. You start off by telling us that you feel that all of the best one's are chosen. Wow, my purposes for starting this strain was for me to meet more wonderful people and so that by learning of them we would be able to meet ordinary people who have contributed extradinarily to His kingdom. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the Lord, however, He does acknowledge even those that feel that they may be less. You see, I was the last for everything, but I always felt that I had the most to contribute. This is a long story that I will not go into here. Yendor was so kind to have chosen you and introduce us to you and I am grateful. One doesn't alway get found in the land of blogs because there are too many blogs yet alone the profiles. Additionally, if you have your search set to men, you would have never popped up on the screen so there is a reason for this invitation and I truly appreciate your attending. I find the line of work that you do very interesting. I am an artist myself, even though I have never developed these innate talents in the form of the media. This must be a very interest line of work for you that is quite rewarding. I wonder how many places you have traveled on your assignments? I also find it curious that you like your kids and love your grandkids.

Kyrose-as a standard member you can tag people by simple typing in the following photo and then their memberID ] like to put your picture here it would be done like this [ photo Kyrose ] Shall we try. Kyrose

Happy Birthday indescribeable!!! Hope you read this on May 3rd!!!

And thanks for tagging me. Sorry...but I missed this post on 4/24! Yikes! THAT long ago. Only have a moment...at the moment, and don't know how to play this "tagging game" yet. But I had to laugh when I read at the top where you said that you were tagging people who were more or less shy...to draw them out to talk about themselves. Girl, you obviously don't know me very well! LOL! (But I hope that changes, soon!)

Hey, I'll come back later (maybe tonight) and read through all this and do this "properly." Mostly wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday right now!!!!

Sheri, I think this is a wonderful idea. I've read all of it now...and guess what? I just happened to see a new post by someone. This is like his first day to blog. So I have "tagged" [prayerwarrior73].

I left a link to this post in his post. What a great way to help newbies into the fold!

And Frances, I really loved reading all you shared about yourself. I'm still pretty new here (less than a month) and have only heard your handle come up in a couple of posts by gpsysong, but haven't actually read any of you posts or comments. I know there's something going on, but I usually stay out of....um...hotly debated topics as much as possible. LOL!!

Anyway...Sheri, I also enjoyed reading all about you, too. I'll tag three others...as soon as I can FIND three other guys who haven't already been tagged! Man...this ain't easy! LOL!

And I'll put my two cents' worth in (about me) later, too. Sorry to have to break this up in pieces, but I only had enough time for this now. Blessings!!!

Okay, as promised, here's the inside scoop on WorshippingOne:

My Work: I am a 29-year computer professional, self-employed working part-time the last 11 years. That's how I make about 80-90% of my income. In addition (and I'm kinda lumping all this together here), I have a music business/ministry. I have a recording studio in my spare bedroom and produce worship CD's that are used as tools for enhancing the worship experience of small churches, church plants, home groups, or anywhere there's not an anointed worship team real handy.

The title I have on my business cards is Worship Ministry Consultant and Coach. And what exactly is that? In addition to producing the CD's, I consult with pastors and leaders about everything from equipment needs to people issues (regarding music, of course). I then coach those who are actually involved in the music.

I play multiple instruments (keyboard, drums, guitars) and can sing multiple parts. I do all the music production and arrangement in-house. Occassionally, I have guest artists join me on projects. But most of the music on the five Praise Project CD's I have was done by me.

In addition to the Praise Project CD's, I have almost 50 Worship Service Song Set CD's. These are collections of songs from my Praise Projects as well as from commercially-recorded CD's from Integrity's Hosanna! Music like from their iWorship series.

I use these CDs when I lead worship. And my most current assignemnt is I'm helping start a church about 100 miles away. We just held our 8th weekly service this past Sunday. I take a light-weight keyboard, a small Kurzweil sound module, a stand, my CD player and we have a pretty awesome worship service--not because I'm there, but because God always shows up!

My Location: I live just south of Lynchburg, VA in a two-bedroom apartment. I've been here 24 years and LOVE it here. I'm open to moving when I meet my David if that's the way it needs to be for us to be together. But that's probably the ONLY way I'm going to be uprooted out of here! I grew up in hot, windy, flat, hardly-any-scenery, tornado-prone south-central Texas. It was great growing up there, and I don't mind visiting, but I SURE don't want to go back and live there! LOL!

My Relationship With the Lord: Quite simply, everything I am, everything I do, every choice that I make, every part of my life is influenced by my everyday, very intimate walk with Him. He's on my heart and my mind pretty much constantly. He's my Best Friend, my Teacher, my Life Coach, my Personal Trainer, my Counselor, my Father, my Master, my Savior, my Healer, my Provider, my Leader, my Helper, my Advocate, and my Intercessor. He's my shield, my strength, my rock, my wisdom, my joy, my peace, my glory and the lifter of my head.
Without Him, I can be and do nothing. I am completely dependent on Him for everything.

My Passion in Life: My passion is to fulfill His purposes for my life, and that includes a lot of things. In addition to my ministry of music, I've been involved in mentoring, and yes, that has included a lot of writing. Although I'm not currently doing it, I've led Bible study groups and have done a certain amount of teaching from the pulpit. I do operate in a teaching anointing as well as some of the the prophetic gifts during times of worship.

Another area I'm passionate about is that of living a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. Like you, Sheri, I had to learn the hard way that I can't work 60+ hours each week, go 90 miles an hour all the time, and expect to stay housed in this earth-suit very long! LOL!

I'm an avid bicyclist and currently have over 40k miles on my road bike. I once published an online health and nutrition newsletter and still occassionally do a little consulting in that area. I plan on posting my testimony of how I lost 60 pounds (over a 12 year period) and completely eliminated a LONG laundry list of health issues by learning not only how to eat (for me!), but things like the role of yeast, mold, and fungus in the disease process. You'll have to stay tuned for more details on that.

My Surroundings and Inner Thoughts: Hmm...well...not sure exactly how I want to answer this. I live alone, and for the most part, I work alone. I'm not close, emotionally or physically, to my family. I've been in a place of isolation for several years now, and that's due to the transition I've been going through. The last few months have been some of the toughest I've ever endured for reasons I don't want to reveal at this time.

What I'm intimately aware of, however, is that God is "putting the finishing touches on the salvation He began" some time ago. You see, I have a call on my life. He spoke some things to me (publicly, by the way) in 1985 that set in motion certain things in my life. In that Word, He said that I was to be "warned and prepared, because what He's going to do a quick work--even more quickly than I can imagine."

I'm very aware that the Apostle Paul was "in training" for over 13 years before the Holy Spirit set him apart and sent him out. Jesus first came on the scene when he was 12, then remained "silent" for the next 18 years...until the fulness of times had come. Moses sat on the backside of the desert for 40 years before the Lord called him forth...and on and on.

In my heart of hearts, I know that everything in my life so far has been nothing more than training and preparation...for a grand finale. And with everything in me, I believe that grand finale will not happen until I meet my David.

The stage really is set. My favorite T.D. Jakes quote is, "God propels prepared people into their purpose." As I commented recently on one of reallysaved's posts, it's not just about meeting Miss Right or Mr. Wonderful. It's about the conjoining of two hearts and lives for fulfilling His purposes for them.

Those are my thoughts. (smile)

Thanks, again, Sheri, for the opportunity to share all this here. Now...I wonder if anyone will actually read it since I'm so late in posting it here. (grin)

Well, WorshippingOne Tagged me....*sigh*

You guys don't understand... I can't write about me without making a novella out of the thing, LOL!

Well, I'll make a blog today for it, but I want to remind all of you that I have a tagging game of my own going on, as well. Look in my blog, entitled "I once was Blond, But not I see..." for details. By the way, Yendor, Dundeal and Firecracker1 were the 3 that I tagged in my game, heh heh heh...

Howdy, Indescribable, I was just joking about the liking kids/loving grandkids bit. I was one of the few women who got to be a stay-at-home mom and I got to REALLY enjoy my kids. I took them hiking in all kinds of seasons and weather, went to the symphony and plays, sports too numerous to mention (including their own!), swimming on a daily basis...uh, you get the idea. I just like my grandkids a tad bit more since I'm not responsible for the dirty diapers.

Cynamun - Now you post on their last blog and reference that you tagged them by copy and pasting the post number at the bottom of this page. Include only the brackets/post/number/brackets. Good luck. I'll be watching to see how you did. Cheers!!!

Wow, Rock1970 It's wonderful that you came to visit. Meow (Pete) often speaks of various people on BC and although I have never noticed you, I'm glad you came to share. It's so exciting to meet friends of friends.

Supabubba - I have been aquainted with alot of new people on BC because of this thread because of new bloggers tagging new bloggers. My format has brought some out of the closet so to speak and starting making a few more transparent. Through this, I see glimpses of healing in some. But it doesn't stop there. Once they tag the site I am paying attention at least once a week to their blogs through the bookmark feature. So many times as we enter a new space wether it be in church or on BC or anywhere we are often greeted and then forgotten as a number. I would pray that people on BC don't ever feel that way and that they don't feel any less because they are newer. This is a very common feeling. This site is more than entertainment. It is for us to nurture each other in our faithwalk and educate when we feel we have expertise to share. As you will admit, our numbers are growing. I think that there needs to be teachers and leadership where there is a calling and I certainly need your leadership as well. I want to thank you for everything that you have taught me. You are a great teacher you are!!!!

Everyone needs to feel special including the ones not on the list. Guess, I can relate a bit with this chosen last syndrome or not chosen at all as a child. It has made me feel sad when people have left BC because they did not feel like they fit. It is our responsibility to nurture each other in our faithwalk and educate when we feel we have expertise to share. As you will admit, our numbers are growing.

You are a great teacher you are!!!! and Casturecares was my promptor when I started at BC. What a special lady she has been!!!
