{Start}
If you met me I would probably be smiling. I also will likely have a beverage in my hand. If it isn't Lent season it will be (fountain) Pepsi or iced tea with a lemon or orange slice in it. or maybe some iced water with lemon. Right now it could be a Diet Dr. Pepper or maybe Coke Cherry Zero (in a bottle!).
---or that aggravating ,above-mentioned water so full of refreshing goodness.
If you met me I might seem a bit shy at first, but if you hang with me and pretend not to notice then I can get past it pretty quickly. You will also find me hugging on you. I am, in fact, a hugger.
If you met me you would be meeting my family (in spirit anyway). It's practically impossible for me to separate us. Within minutes you will know that I have beautiful children who love the Lord and precious grandchildren who are everything! Because that's pretty much what matters.
Also, there is approximately an 89.7% chance that I will be make-up free...unless I know you're coming and actually have time to get purty. I am not a fan of making up the face unless I'm heading out to The Target, or church, or some other public place where I prefer not be scary.
If you met me in my home you would see a few (or more) dishes in my sink. I'm a little weird about using the dishwasher but sometimes I let them sit for a bit or longer before doing 'em. I would almost certainly offer you some type of cake or cookie or goodie, because I love to cook and bake and make stuff. and I love to give people things, and due to financial constraints gifts of the feeding you is pretty much all I have to offer. Lisa-Jo you would so have been getting casseroles after Zoe's birth if I lived closer :)
I hope you could see that I'm learning to not take myself so seriously...that I'm relaxing more about the small stuff...that I'm clowning around more and laughing more and thinking about you more.
I hope most of all that if you met me you would be able to see how much I love my Lord and just want to make Him happy. And if you met me? I am certain we could be great friends just sharing our stories and passions and families.
{Stop}
Since we can't all meet in my living room in person this weekend, would you drop me a comment and let me know who you are? I want to know you too :)
Happy Friday!!
