Liebster Award!

7/27/2018

19 Comments

 
    I have the privilege of being tagged by Laura @Beautiful Things and Molly @A Sparkle of Light to participate in the Liebster Award! Thank you so much, ladies, for awarding me! I will do my best to answer both sets of questions for y'all!

For those of you that are not familiar with what the Liebster award is allow me to explain. One blogger nominates eleven other bloggers for the award, then those eleven nominate another set of eleven  bloggers for the award!  It just keeps getting passed around, allowing bloggers to team up and get their blogs out there!  The award is basically a badge that you put on your blog for all to see.  There are rules that each nominee has to follow as well.  Here are the rules that Laura and Molly gave their eleven nominees to complete and I will be giving you the same rules as well. 

So without further ado, let's get started!

Picture
Tag Rules:
1 -Thank the blog that nominated you for the award. 
2 - Answer the questions they gave you.
3 - Give 11 fun facts about yourself.
4 - Nominate 11 other bloggers for the award, and give them 11 questions to answer.


Questions from Laura:
1. What is the most courageous thing you have ever done?
Honestly, I'm not quite sure. Perhaps taking care of my mom at the peak of her illness at a conference while also teaching a class and caring for my family and doing the meals. It was a pretty intense week, but God's grace sustained me through it!
2. Do you prefer ice coffee or hot, or do you not like coffee at all?
I rarely drink coffee, but if I do I really enjoy ice coffee. Honestly though, it depends on the mood I'm in. :) 
3. What is your favorite holiday?
The 4th of July hands down!
4. What is one of your most special talents?
Good question and this is hard because I have a lot! I guess the most special is my talent to read people and really pick up on what their feelings are right away. 
5. What is your favorite book?
Impossible question! Besides the Bible, either "The Boy Colonel" or "Hunting in the Highlands."
6. What is one of the earliest childhood memories you have?
Not the best, but I believe it is the earliest one - throwing up in my car seat. (I've had motion sickness since I was a baby.)
7. Do you prefer cake or ice-cream?
Neither? Okay, I'll probably take the cake over the ice cream.
8. How many books have you read this summer?
Over 10
9. Cats or dogs?
Again, neither? Definitely dogs over cats though.
10. If you could have any exotic pet...*Any kind guys*, which would you choose?
Hands down a dolphin or thumb monkey
11. What is the best summer vacation you have ever gone on?
What is summer vacation? :P We usually stay home for the entire summer every year so... I can't really answer this question.

Questions from Molly:
1. Do you like snakes? Would you hold one?

No, I don't like snakes. Seeing how I've already held a few in my life, no I don't want to hold one again.

2. What genre of music do you like?
Soundtracks are my favorite!

3. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? (or don't you like ice cream?)
Mint chocolate chip

4. How long have you been blogging?
On and off since 2012 so...seven years.

5. Summer or winter?
Usually winter.

6. Inside or outside?
​Depends on the weather.


7. Do you prefer to read or write?
Always read!

​8. What's the longest (or closest to longest, if you can't remember) book you've ever read?
Hmm... either "Little Women", "Sherlock Holmes" or "To Have and To Hold."

9. Historical fiction or fantasy?
Historical fiction hands down.

10. Watermelon or cantaloupe? 
Watermelon

11. Cloudy or sunny?
 Generally cloudy, because cloudy days are rare where I live. :) 


Great questions, girls! I enjoyed answering them! Now for eleven facts about me.

1. I have been a child of God since I was 4
2. I participated in the National Bible Bee for 8 years before aging out in 2016.
3. I am a homeschool graduate.
4. My absolute favorite animal is a dolphin
5. I have been an entrepreneur for 7 years now!
6. My personality letters are INFP (occasionally changing to ENFP)
7. My love language is gifts.
8. I'm a budding filmmaker.
9. I'm very musically inclined and have a really good ear for pitch.
10. I am the oldest of 14 kids (seven on earth, seven in heaven.)

Thanks again for the tag, Holly!

Lol, I didn't know you were also an INFP! I've heard that INFPs love Chocolate Mint Ice Cream -- and guess what? That's my favorite flavor as well! XD

These are all great questions, and I think it'll be fun to answer them! Although, nominating eleven blogs may be a bit more of a problem. I don't think I know more than five very well! I'll just have to do my best. XD

I enjoyed learning more about you, Holly!

I didn't know that you were an INFP also! @J.S. Clingman - That is so funny about INFP's liking mint chip ice cream, because that is one of my favorite kinds! 😄

I'll answer a few questions... 😉
1. Either John or James...John because of the way that he shows us who Jesus is and what he taught. James because it is so challenging to me as a Christian in how I live and treat others.
6. Old Christmas! Our family celebrates it on January 6th and we give things to each other in our stockings. 😊
7. Apple for sure! 😜

Praying that you have a blessed weekend!
In Christ,
~Paisley

This is what my answers would look like... :)

1. What is your favorite book of the Bible and why?
I love Psalms and Proverbs a lot, because I can really apply the things it says to my life. :)

2. What is your favorite top 3 books?
Yikes, hard! Well, of course the Bible is the best. I love The Star Under The City by Maggie Joy! And maybe... 24 Days Before Christmas by Rebekah Jones.

3. What is your least favorite food?
Hmm… Maybe liver. I do NOT like liver! ;)

4. What is your favorite dessert?
Ice-cream is so delicious, especially on hot days!

5. If you were able to travel back in time, what time period would you go to?
Ooh, that’s hard…

6. What is your favorite holiday?
My birthday. Lol, totally just kidding!!! Definitely Christmas, when we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7. Apple or Samsung?
Apple!!! :)

8. If you could meet anyone from the Bible, who would you want to meet?
Ummm… Jesus!!!!! :D

9. What is your favorite blog to read?
Another hard one!!!! I love this one!!! https://anniewritessite.wordpress.com

10. Absolute favorite soundtrack from a movie?
I honestly don't listen to a lot of soundtracks… But the soundtracks from The Runner From RavensHead is pretty fun! ;)

11. Kendrick brothers (Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, Courageous and War Room) or Erwin Brothers (Mom's Night Out, Woodlawn, and I Can Only Imagine?
Definitely the Kendrick Brothers. Okay, maybe that’s because I’ve never seen anything by the Erwin Brothers… But the Kendrick movies are so good!!!
