10 - 20 - 30

October 31st, 2007

So Grace tagged me for a meme that takes you back in time.  So for your reading enjoyment and my own personal ammusment here you go!

10 years ago: Mike and I would of been married 2.5 years.  We were “plugged” in to our church and praying for God’s direction in our lives.  At that point we were just a year fresh out of college and wanting to go on the “mission field”.  No one would take us.  It still puzzles us.  We then began considering “church planting” as we knew it then and the rest is histroy. We often say now that ether way we would of ended up at the same place pragmatically and philosophically with all things having to do with the “Church”.  It has been a fun 10 years to say the least.

20 years ago: I was right in the middle of middle school hell.  What else do you say about that .  It is the beginning of the teenage gauntlet that leaves most limping for many years to come. I hated school starting in the 4th grade and never pulled out until my junior year in college.  I went from super board to super “over” all the relational drama that left me unbable to think about learning. 

30 years ago: I was waiting for my baby brother to be born, going to montessori preschool and generally climbing every tree in site.  I still remember when I swong the garden house over a ficus tree limb in our front yard.  I was swinging back and forth on the hose from limb to limb.  In my youthful vigor I forgot to grab both lengths of the hose and came crashing down on the roots of a ficus tree and landed on my ankle.  A three year old and “bed rest” is not a good combo.

And there you have it, the best that I can remember it. Thanks Grace for asking me to play along.
