Liebster Award

Many thanks to Paige of Sunday Best and All the Rest for nominating me for the Liebster Award.  The Leibster Award is a way for bloggers to learn more about each other by asking 11 questions.  Here are my answers to Paige's questions:   

1) Are you a morning person or a night owl?

My weekday routine is waking up at 6:00 AM and going to sleep before 11:00 PM.

2)Do you prefer dogs, cats, both or neither?

Both. It depends on the animal's disposition.

3) Where did you get your name?

When my mother was pregnant, the Lord told her to name me Bethany. My father chose the middle name from the virtue grace.

4) Do you have an unusual talent?

Yodeling.

5) Would you rather show up at an event over-dressed or under-dressed?

I currently have 2 basic types of outfits: nice clothes (for shopping, visiting, making deliveries, going to concerts, etc) and work clothes (for getting muddy in the garden, concrete work, cleaning out the chicken coop, etc). A comfortable flared skirt and well-fitted button-up blouse (“nice outfit”) is my choice for any event.

6) If given a choice, would you rather perform singing, dancing, or playing an instrument?

Singing the Holy City.

7) What kind of job do you have (to me, this means anything from a career to getting paid to do chores around the house or babysit your siblings)?

Sales, marketing, and general labor for Carson Concrete (we make reinforced concrete pads for propane tanks) and seasonal labor at a local orchard.

8) What was the song you last heard?

If I Gained the World but Lost the Savior.

9) Food you last ate?

Chocolate chip ice cream with peanut butter.

10) Part of the Bible you last read?

Mark 3:35 “For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and my mother.”

11) Is there any quality you think the Lord is growing in you right now (e.g., patience, love, trust)?
Diligence, resolution, and responsibility. I was always a very good student. I studied diligently, took the tests I needed to take, and did well on them. But it can be hard transitioning from a student to an adult. The tests are different now. I'm no longer in situations where I'm given four multiple-choice tests which I am to do within 4 hours, and if I get an excellent score I'm automatically labeled a very intelligent success. Problems are now more open-ended, and often can be delayed indefinitely. I need the Lord to keep me motivated and give me the courage to face difficulties, take the steps needed, and get the things I need to do in life done.
