I remember growing up as a kid I hated playing the game tag, because I would always end up being it and I just found it so frustrating to have to go around and chase people while they taunted you about how you can’t catch them. One time I tried so hard that I ended up falling and breaking a few fingers. Not good memories.
But today I was tagged in a different way. My dear friend Joanna, whom I look up to and have on many occasions thought to myself “I hope I can become more like her” (of course in a non-creepy sense, I just think she has a very fine fragrance to her, which smells an awful lot like Jesus) tagged me, but instead of having to run, I just have to…
“Here are the rules: You must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post and then choose people you want to tag.”
So my middle name is CHRISTINA *whew, never realized how long that is until now*
C – Christ, I love Him, and I so desperately want to know Him and make Him proud.
H – Halfhearted, is something I never want to be. I know that a lot of times I make stupid mistakes but strike me down if I ever become apathetic, luke warm or unpassionate. Please. I’m asking you to beat me up if you see this happening.
R – Radiance. I really want to radiate. There is a song by KT Tunstall that I love and the first verse sums up the type of person I want to be and it says this:
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
I - Ignivomous. cool word huh? I found it the other day, it means someone who is “vomitting or spewing forth fire.” To me fire stands for righteousness, holyness and truth. All things that I want to be vomitting and spewing out of my mouth…so much so that covers everyone and then they are covered in truth, righteousness, holyness vomit.
S - Sexy. I love to feel like a woman. I think you can be sexy without actually being sexual or over-revealing. But I love being a woman! I really do, and I’m learning to celebrate my beauty from the inside out and it definitely makes me feel sexy.
T – Talk. I love talking to old friends and new ones. I am so glad I have a voicebox.
I - “In a nutshell” Lots of the times I feel like my life has been in a nutshell.
N - Nigh, I often feel like I am nearly there, almost there…but never “there” you know?
A – Address. My address has changed a lot in the past few years, and sometimes I find that really hard, because I feel like I’ve left little pieces of myself in different places and with different people, leaving me feel like something is missing or I don’t even know who I am anymore…but at the same time I feel so blessed to have been able to experience all that I have.
So I tag Audrey & Laura
