In My Shoes

All About This Crazy Lady!!!

~ Getting to know me questions & answers - Part 1 ~

 Q. What made you want to live in Davis? ~ from Tanya Deguzman

A. It was the Lord. We were praying about where God would have us start a church and there was an evident need in Davis. It was neat to see how God lead us here, and we LOVE it!!! 

Q. What is your favorite guilty pleasure food? ~ from Jessica Rodriguez

A. Donuts – One time I ate 5 at a morning fellowship. FIVE!!!  And I’m not talking donut holes here, I mean the big ones, like apple-fritters & maple-bars. I ate a couple before anybody arrived. Then, to those standing around visiting, I acted like I hadn’t had one yet and took another. OH MY!!!  Then…I snuck two more and ate them in the bathroom. Pathetic huh???

Q. What has been your biggest spiritual hurdle to wrestle with? ~ from Jan Airhart

A. Bible study – I loved spending time in prayer and having devotions & worship time,  but I neglected Bible STUDY.  I realized that ALL my spiritual hurdles would not be overcome unless I studied His Word. Not worship. Study. Not just prayer and devotions. STUDY.  Dig deep in God’s word!!!


Q. What is your favorite Season? ~Jessica Rodriguez

A.  I wish "Rain" was a season.  I’m a boot lovin’, glove wearin’, cider sippin’, rain loving, cuddle up by the fire kind of girl!!!  So, ANY season where I can do that I’m happy! 


Q. Do you have a secret talent?  ~Heather Skaggs

A. Yes, but if I told everyone, then it wouldn’t be a secret : )hee hee


Q. What are spiritual challenges you've faced and how'd you overcome them? ~Jasdeep Gill

A. Here are 3…

1. Anger - I memorized verses on anger, read some books on anger, prayed for victory, and had some counseling sessions with my pastor. I worked on it EVERY day and God gave me the victory.

2. Confidence in Christ – I was dealing with some insecurity so I did a word study on confidence; I just dug deep into the Bible for several hours and was SOOO encouraged by what God taught me.

            3. Contentment – Studying the Children of Israel is a good Bible study for this…I listed things I was thankful for each day; sometimes it was hard because Satan had influenced me to be so negative about life. Also, I wrote thank you notes for EVERY little thing - once I even wrote a thank you note to someone who had lent me a sticky note to use(one sticky note-haha)  Maybe that’s a little overboard, but I knew I HAD to overcome this sin and needed to saturate my life with gratefulness.

Q. What is one homemaking skill you wish you were better at? ~Anonymous

A.  Couponing  - I’ve taken classes, clipped, organized, and tried so hard, but it just doesn’t work for me.

Q. What is one homemaking skill you’re glad you have?

A. Sewing - It comes in handy for mending, tailoring, making curtains, crafting, hemming skirts & my hubby’s pants, etc… I love Love, LOVE being able to sew!!!


Q. What are a few of your favorite christian life "help" books on marriage, Christian living, friendship, etc? ~Michelle Reis

A. Here’s a few that I have read and re-read; they have helped me so much…

-Changed Into His Image

-Lady the Lord is Looking For~The Proverbs 31 woman

-Love & Respect

-God’s  Adventurer~Life of Hudson Taylor

-Mrs. Chappell’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”

Q. What is your favorite movie?  ~Jessica Rodriguez
A. I don’t really have a favorite. I like anything that is lighthearted or makes me laugh! DEFINITELY anything with Haley Mills  - love her!!!  I must confess, though, I have watched Kung Fu Panda about a hundred times – don’t judge me! HAHA!

Q. Would you change anything about yourself? ~Anonymous 

A. I can honestly say, NO.  As a teen girl God just gave me the ability to accept myself. I truly believe self-worth was just a gift He chose to give me. I was grateful for who He made me to be. God gave me confidence in my personality and I knew my talents were from Him. One night, late, at the age of 14, God impressed upon my heart to write a devotion about how we are all made beautiful in His sight. Once I had my thoughts written, I pretended that I was speaking to a group of ladies and sharing it with them.  Even then I had a heart to minister and help others find their worth in Christ. I must give God the glory for revealing this lesson to me at such a young age. 

Q. Are there any more questions in this post?
A.  NO : ) but I want to say THANK YOU to those who submitted questions. I will share more in my Part 2 of "All About This Crazy Lady."  I welcome feedback, so If you have a question, please leave it in the comments.

Yes, I am crazy(just ask my family & friends) and I love to have fun in life, however, many times I can be a mess : ) haha, BUT, I strive to be WHO God wants me to be, and I hope that by just being me I can bless you. 

Love,

DeAna
