A Little Blog Challenge :)

May Blogging Challenge!

I was catching up on some blog reading the other day and I noticed one of the blogs I follow, Natasha from Hello Happiness was doing a blog every day in May challenge. I thought what a great way to be held a little more accountable for blogging every day. So I thought I would give it a try. I'm a few days behind so I will catch up and do all 7 days at once. We'll see how it goes and how faithful I am to it :)

Day 1 - The story of your life in 250 words or less.....

I'm Lindsay, I am 26 years old and live in the great Hoosier State :) I am a follower of Christ, and I know I wouldn't be where I am at today without his love and guidance in my life. I graduated from nursing school in 2011 and currently work at one of our local hospitals as an RN on the cardiac floor. I met Tom, my very own prince charming in the summer of '06 and married him a year and a half later. May 2011 we welcomed a small piece of heaven into our lives, our daughter - Meredith Lurena. She is by far the joy and highlight of our lives together. We live in a small suburb of Indianapolis with our 2 dogs and 3 cats - and now Meredith's 4 fish :) I enjoy traveling, new foods, reading, and blogging! I love summer and being able to be outdoors and wear my growing number of summer dresses :) My life is great and I wouldn't change a thing!

Day 2 - Educate us on something you know a lot about or are good at.....

Well, my career is in medicine - but I don't really think I know a lot about that. There is so much to know and I learn numerous things everyday. I'm actually very informed on US history, particularly the US Presidents and Civil War. I have been to the majority of the Civil War sites when I was younger and can't wait to take Tom and Meredith to all of them. I can pretty much tell you who all the Presidents were, maybe not in the correct order, but can name them all. I'm looking forward to teaching Meredith all about history when she gets older.

Day 3 - Things that make you uncomfortable.....

Confrontation.....I don't like to argue with people and get really frustrated when someone thinks they know everything. I think an intelligent person learns something new each and everyday and grows because of it.

Day 4 - Favorite quote and why you love it.....

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me", Philippians 4:13

I live by this verse, it is one of my favorite verses/quotes. Anytime I feel like I can't possibly continue this verse provides me with the strength and courage to strive forward. 

Day 5 - Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them so great? And why do you love them?

Katy from Life With Laney is one of my dear friends. I actually met her through her sister, Jenny, who I went to college with. I love reading Katy's blog she has the sweetest little girl Laney, and I love reading about Laney and all the cute and fun things she does. Katy just recently had her second child, a little boy - Sawyer Jonathan. I am looking forward to reading about him and his big sister as they grow :)

Day 6 - If you couldn't answer with your job the following question, how would you answer it?

"What do you do?"

I would tell people that I "do" a lot of things. I cook, clean, be a mother, a wife, a Christian, a friend, a neighbor, a daughter, a sister, a dog owner, a handywoman, a shopper, a hairstylist, etc. The list could go on, but I think you get the general idea :)

Day 7 - The thing(s) your most afraid of.....

I try not to have fear and try to remember that God is in control and never gives me anything I can't handle.

However, if I had to pick something it would be the fear of not succeeding. I'm afraid that something I am meant or supposed to do will just pass me by. I want to make sure everyday that I am on this earth I utilize my true potential and show God's love while doing so.
