What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

When you are a child growing up, you have a limited amount of responsibility. At preschool age you are to listen and obey your parents at all times because of the fact they have learned responsibility before you. They can determine what is right and what is wrong.

This knowledge is passed down to you from the trials and errors that they have learned. Passing on to their children this knowledge so they can avoid negative situations.

And when you listen and understand the consequences of not taking the advice given, we’ll then you can’t say you didn’t know. And that no one ever told you.

But you did. So prepare for the consequences . Prepare for an “I told you so.” because you didn’t listen.

Being responsible is even more so when you are in grade school, high school and college. And when you are done with that looking for a job, getting the job you were trained for, and doing your best to keep it.

Then meeting your spouse, having children , and taking care of this family you and your spouse made together thru the grace of GOD.

From being a child holding on to your parents hand that you love to holding the hand of your own children that you love.

Time flies by quickly.But responsibility seems to linger.

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

Well I have components to the three things I can’t live without!😄😄😄

What I need for survival for the mind would be first the Bible. I can’t do without it .It is something that gives me comfort and joy.

The next thing would be my “bug out bag”. It contains the needed supplies if you need to get away with. Including change of clothing. Cell Phone and it’s charger.

Also a power source. One that you keep with you for your phone and car.

So I do realize that’s well over 3. But that’s my answer. 😄😄😄

Peace and blessings ❤️

What is the last thing you learned?

I tell you ,I love this dumpling so I had to learn how to make it at home!

I bought a bamboo steamer and all of the Ingredients for the filling and started wrapping.

They turned out pretty good! I used pork and shrimp with the spices in the recipe. They may not have been wrapped exactly as how it is done in the restaurants. But the taste is more important than how it looked for me!

The next recipe will be the BBQ pork ribs sause so I can use chicken instead of the pork rib!

GOD willing it should be good too with the homemade egg fried rice!

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?

My beloved mother picked my name because she was asked by her first cousin to name my middle name after her.

Now looking it up for the Biblical meaning it means:

“God is gracious” and comes from the Hebrew name Yochanan. It is a variation of the name Jane, which comes from John, a biblical name that first appeared in the Old Testament. 

I was ready to share the word of GOD even by my name alone. Thank you mommy!❤️❤️❤️

What were your parents doing at your age?

My parents worked. Put food on the table and a roof over our heads.

Took me to church since I was born showing me the righteousness of GOD.

I am grateful for all of my elders who led me to GOD and JESUS so I could make it into heaven.

They worked hard until they decided to retire  and have some peace. You need to enjoy life after working. Take a deep breath and thank GOD for all of your blessings.

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

My favorite types of shoes are sneakers. The ones that are well cushioned. I will wear a pair until it’s done. Once any kind of shoe that’s broken in, they are now super comfortable!

Well appreciated, too.  On those days when do alot of traveling, then there’s alot of walking too.

The right color sneakers can be worn in any outfit from church dresses , summer dresses to sporty outfits , and just casual.

Once you go sneakers and comfort, it’s hard to go back to anything else!

Peace and blessings ❤️

Who are your favorite people to be around?

When I am around people who are like-minded and in the body of Christ JESUS, there is no feeling of conflict. There is a calm spirit amongst us.

Peacefulness.

An instant connection with everyone, for we have the same goals of  wanting to get into heaven. To be with the GOD with love and HIS son JESUS when our days are done!

When one is going through something and is in need of prayer, it is very comforting to be around such people you can call your brother or sister in faith! For we serve the same GOD and have accepted JESUS as savior 🙏🏾.

Cool 😎.

Peace and blessings ❤️

What is your favorite drink?

No chemicals, cold, clear, delious water. GOD made and enjoyed.

On a hot summer day, in my water jug while out in the garden,  a sip is satisfying. Welcomed and appreciated.

Nothing can take away my thirst any better.

Peace and blessings ❤️

What bores you?

Well, I really can’t say there are too many things that can bore me. But I will say that the game of golf could be an item.

I watched it with my husband. I see people of all nationalities of men and women play it. They seem to be enjoying it. That’s cool.

But what I enjoy I am quite sure will bore others. I just never to a liking to it. Even when  he tried to teach me this sport.

I see how focused the athletes are, the strategies they have to hit the ball off the tee to make go close as possible to the next hole. The equipment used and the caddy who carries the golf clubs. (See the above picture.)

And those bags are good and heavy with all of the clubs used in it. Plus the balls, tees, water to drink, a towel (towels), etc. I picked up my husband’s bag and was mildly surprised 😮!

But I realize it for the money or whatever else these tournaments give these players who stick through it and win. It could be over a million dollars.

Even if I were playing in those tournaments, I would still be bored. It’s like eating plain vanilla yogurt alone for dinner. Some people may like that, and some won’t.

That’s why GOD gave us freedom of choice. 😄

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

I grew up in church. And understanding my GOD and HIS SON JESUS at a young person’s faith. Immature as was my age as well. A teenager has not lived long enough to experience the same things as most adults have.

So there is a limit to what you would be exposed to if you are living in a good home.

Growing up and giving more responsibility,  meeting new people good or bad. Learning not everyone lives as you do or thinks the same from clothes to icecream.

This includes faith and trusting GOD and HIS SON JESUS. Not everyone is one of the same levels of faith. Some will have no faith at all and will treat you better than one who proclaims to be an honest Christian.

Or a Buddhist or Catholic  or Jewish or a jehovah witness. Each one has a different belief about JESUS.

I wonder if my life would have been different  now if I knew what I know now back then about my faith in GOD. 🤔

Peace and blessings ❤️
