TT - things you might not know about me (some good some bad!!)

Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things most people don't know about me...some good, some bad...

These are all things that I have worked on and am working on in my life...

1. I turned down a trip to Libya with a prominent white rights leader (and I am darn glad that I did!!) (This was a phase that soon ended when I believe God spoke to me about what I was really here for! I might share this sometime, if you ask me nicely;-)

2. I hated school, kids made fun of me and I only went to get it over with

3. I was .5 of a percent away from honour role one year and they didn't let it "slide"

4. I dropped out of school with 4 credits left to get, but I worked twice as hard to finish, after the fact, in order to graduate with my class

5. I hitchhiked across Alberta with my then boyfriend, now husband and ended up in Grande Prairie and pregnant!!

6. I am freaked out to talk in front of large crowds of adults!! (working on it...S-T-R-E-T-C-H) (self-esteem being worked on as we speak)

7. I was raped by a friends boyfriend (and I have dealt with this one...praise God!!)

8. I had my eyebrow and bellybutton pierced, it was a huge rush and my head was shaved!!(the piercings have since come out, but the scars remain for life!!)

9. I went to summer camp and me and 2 guys were going to pierce each others ears. I was the only one who went through with it (it was supposed to be a "bonding" moment!! When I got home about a week later, my ears were so infected that I had to go to the hospital and get them manually removed by a doctor. Do not ever try this when you are 13!!)

10. I used to smoke (believe it or not, people didn't know!!), drink a lot and do drugs...(not anymore!!)

11. I used to race BMX bikes for fun, I placed third in Ontario for 12 year old girls one year (out of 3!!)

12. Princess, my daughter, is named after my best friend who died in a car accident when she was 15

13. I moved out of my parents house when I was 17 and 2 weeks later moved back in. My parents helped me move out and helped me move back too!! (I loved how they handled the situation)

  2. Wow - and I thought I was wild in my young years...Isn't God great how He can use all our experiences to bring us closer to Him - although they might hurt very much, but at the end He uses them for the good...

  5. Haha, I just reread the ear piercing one and it sounded like I had my EARS manually removed...No woories, I still have my ears but the earrings were removed from inside my ear lobe!! This was done very, very early on Thursday morning, I should really wait until I am truly awake first!!
