    I so enjoyed your sharing…what a great idea that was. Now I just love red roses – my wonderful dh bought me fifty red roses last week and they are still alive! I have eventually discovered how to look after them so they don’t die the next day! Yes, small talk bores me to death and I am not very patient with it. And oh, seeing sin in my children’s lives is so hard, and sadly often it is because of the stitches that I have dropped with my own walk with the Lord – but thankfully God is the God of the impossible and He can do great things if we ask Him. Be blessed today. In Him, Colleen

    Ah, we’re twins. No, siblings. Wait. Mom promised me I only had three sisters. Well, how about kindred spirits? *laughter*

    I especially connected with all the introvert stuff, the kids’ stuff (oldest most challenging, #2 & #3 together, only one girl), my sin in my kids… and then got a total different glimpse with others (I’m not over 6′ and not adopted). Thanks for sharing YOU with us. 🙂

    Wow, that was neat. I imagine it must have taken forever to think of all of that.

  6. That was actually really fun to read! Maybe it’s because you’re humorous and it was silly along the way…..Sin in our own kids that’s like ours???ouch. Been there as well. Size 12 shoe, huh. My sister is 5’10 and has a size 10 shoe and she LOVES being tall. How do you like it?

    BTW….did I ALSO mention I happen to like chocolate as well???? We’re kindred spirits then…

    I so enjoyed reading these 100 things!! I sat there thinking-that’s me, yup that’s me, and that too. But then there were many things of course that were not me. I have run into you before I think. I too have 3 boys and a girl. And my daughter has been my little joy these last three years. And I HATE throwing parties!!!!LOL That struck me because I just had a birthday party for my 8yr 0ld two days ago. UGH. It was alot of fun but so much work. I also love people, but hate big groups or large doses. One on one is the best! God bless you. I am going to put you on my friends list so I can check back here every once in a while.

    Blessings!
