know & tell friday

Question 1
Did you eat candy this Valentine’s Day? I munched on a few m&m’s that we used to decorate the heart shaped brownies. I guess that’s about it…

Question 2
What is something you do to relax? Just sit and read things on the computer, read blogs or email… just zone out.
Question 3
(From Poole’s book) What is the best approach for resolving conflict? I don’t enjoy conflict. I usually begin by praying about it, and then try to either stay away from the conflict or listen to God about how to handle it.
Question 4
(Poole’s book again) How would you define “freedom”? (this could probably be a bonus question) That is a hard question! YES! It should be a bonus :) There are so many types of freedom… but I think as an American I am very free! Spiritually speaking, freedom is the knowledge that I am forgiven and the freedom that gives me from worry… knowing God is in control.

Question 5
(Poole’s book) On a scale of 1-10, how happy do you usually feel? Explain. I am usually a 7-8. I don’t dip too low often or go to a 10 often either… I am pretty even!
Bonus Questions
Question 6
If you could choose one “SIN” that you would never have to struggle with for the rest of your life what would it be? Control. I fall into the “I want to control everything…” pattern often and it is a great opposition to letting God control my life. I know many wouldn’t categorize control as a sin, but not fully submitting to God’s plan and faithfully trusting that plan is (IMO).
Question 7
What is one thing that breaks your heart? Remembering details of Izzy’s accident breaks my heart. I really try not to do that!

    Glad to see you participated again… I have come to expect your answers every Friday :) I agree that control is a sin, and I struggle with that particular sin more than I want to admit… Blessings today..

    I always enjoy your answers…you are so sweet! I need to work on control issues, too!

    I decided not to eat any sugar on Valentine’s Day, after the ginormous quantity I consumed the day before…then a friend broght me a big frosted heart sugar cookie! What’s a girl to do? EAT it, of course, tee hee! :D

    I loved your answers–I struggle with control–When I pray I want to tell God instead of listen to God.

    I wish I could say I didn’t eat any candy yesterday ; ) Today is a new day.

    Your blog is beautiful!

    I can really relate to your answer to question 6. Control can be hard to give up, yet there is so much freedom when we do let go. I’m learning…

    Have a great weekend!

    These were neat and interesting. Oh, I definately believe control is sin. It’s really taking God/Jesus off the throne and putting our selves on it!!!!

    I totally understand about the control thing, Annie. Me too. And I really, really understand the thing that breaks your heart. I can’t imagine the images that go through your mind.

    This wasn’t an easy meme. Some of these questions would make my brain squeak.
