Liz tagged me on her blog to fill out this ‘8 Things’ survey on my blog. It looked interesting so here it goes.
8 things I am passionate about:
1. Understanding Micah 6:8, discipleship and living it
2. Learning what ‘on earth as it is in heaven’ really means and apply it more.
3. Creating art in some form (photos or fiber)
4. Learning to stop with the control crap (that’s all I’m gonna say about that)
5. Better ways to harness energy than fossil fuel. Come on wind! (or other)
6. Justice issues…they burn in my heart and weigh on my soul, especially Darfur. Can that fight just stop!!!?!
7. Fair Trade chocolate
8. Writing/blogging
8 things I often say: In no particular order:
1. Schweeet

3. Trudat
4. Whaaa?
5. Dude
6. Your turn on Facebook Scrabble
7. yt? (in IM)

8 things I want to do before I die: Current List
1. Go to Africa and help, preferably building a water pump system or something useful that changes people’s lives.
2. Go back to Hawaii and do the islands and go to all my old haunts.
3. Go back to New Zealand and visit the southern island, stem to stern.
4. Debt-free and working for a non-profit that helps people.
5. Really Learn to love people the drive me freakin’ nuts.
6. Lead an international mission trip somewhere in the world
7. A Christmas where I don’t get one single gift and all the $$ goes to others who need it much more than I.
8. Figure out what I am going to do next in my art career, if anything.
8 things I have learned from my past:
1. I have the same freaking pants to get happy/glad in that I just got mad in. In other words, I can’t blame my emotional response on others. The credit is mine. (good grief)
2. Never, never, never break or hairline fracture your elbow. Never do it. Trust me.
3. When you are tired and cutting fabric, STOP. Otherwise you become a poster child for a rotary cutter guard along with an insane number of stitches.
4. Don’t over think it (what ever it is….). Just jump in and fly by the seat of your pants. Trust God.
5. Remember what it’s like to be made fun of by people…and don’t perpetuate it.
6. Don’t hold your nose when swimming, blow air out of it instead.
7. People are on a different part of the spiritual journey than I. Patience. Remember what I was like 10 years ago.
8. Being an alum of Iowa State builds a LOT of character during football and basketball season.
