Questions from Angela
1. What makes you happy?

2. Where is your favorite place on earth?
I haven’t traveled very much, but I am a new resident of the state of Florida. I am enjoying the beautiful weather here.
3. How do you face the stormy season in life?
Past experiences have taught me to place my faith and my trust in God completely. He is faithful to see me through the end of every seemingly impossible situation.
4. If you can be in someone shoes for a day, who will it be and why?
There is no one that I want to wear their shoes. I am happy being me, living the life God has given me. Fulfilling my purpose is challenging enough for me.
5. If you can tell your younger self about something you have learned now and wish you knew then, what will that be?
That having a personal relationship with God is the most important relationship you will every have. Start everyday early with God and everything else will fall in to order.
6. What is your passion in life?

7. What is your favorite indulgence?
My favorite indulgence is cakes.
8. If today is the last day for you on earth, how would you like to spend it?
I would like to spend it by being a blessing to others, sharing the word, showing the love of God, meeting a need, and giving out of any resources that I may have.
9. Imagine 10 yrs. from now, what will you have learned by far?
I believe that just as it took the apostle Paul 25 yrs to learn to be content in whatever circumstance he faced, I believe that within the next 10 yrs. as I endure the vissicitudes of life, I hope to have learned to be content just as Paul learned contentment on a much higher level and not on an earthly level.
10. What is the most valuable lesson you have learned by far?
The most valuable lesson I have learned is that there are times that you can feel as though something is wrong or that you have made a wrong decision, but wrong things can be right things. (See Romans 8:28 by far my most valued and favorite Scripture.)
11. Imagine you won a lotto of $1 million, what will you do with that money?
Well, first I would go to God in prayer and wait on His answer. That’s as far as I choose to imagine.
