RANDOMNESS FROM DIANA
1. I used to be depressed, a lot. I spent about 6 months in bed doing nothing, more than once. I was a walking shell, empty inside.
2. I am sooooo tired of snow, longing for warmth.
3. I am not a morning girl.
4. I am actually shocked that this blog is going so well. I really don’t talk this much!
5. I didn’t grow up in church. Yep, there’s a lot of stories I won’t share.
6. I have been homeless with kids. It was not fun. Lived in about 3 different DV Shelters.
7. I have a lot of instruments at my house, I guess I’m just a kid who likes to play!
8. I have colored my hair since I was 18. Today it’s brunette, but maybe not tomorrow.
9. I am kind of a book junkie – mostly non-fiction, christian, self-help. I knew I needed help, I just didn’t know where to go!
10. I am the oldest of three children.
11. I had to help my youngest daughter do a family tree, so I started on Ancestory.com. This is not my cup of tea, I don’t want to see another ‘green leaf’ ever! Well, only if it’s from a real tree!
11 questions from Jubilee
- Why did you decide to start your blog? I had a dream and God spoke to me that I needed to ‘quit playing church’ and talk about what He has led me through.
- How many countries or US states have you been to and stayed for at least one night? IL, WI, MN, ME, NV,NC, WY, FL, TX = 9
- What is your favorite National Park (or state/provincial)? I have been to Yellowstone, but I’m not too much of a park girl. I guess I watch too much CSI!
- How do you prefer to travel, auto, train, bus, plane, etc? Auto, love to see the country on a fun road trip.
- Have you ever had an epiphany? oh yeah, sudden appearances all the time here.
- What is your favorite movie (or genre)? Pay it Forward, love that movie
- If you wrote a book about your life what would you title it? Prayers and Promises
- What is your favorite landscape feature? Water- anywhere
- How do you think the world will end? That one is up to God, no man knows. But I do know we will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and we will meet Jesus in the air!
- What is your favorite food? Pizza
- When you search for blogs to read what search criteria do you use? I search by the TAGS. And I also like to click on the Gravatar on the bottom of each of the posts.

Belated congratulations. I tend to be late in catching up in the news because weekends is the only time to read.
I understand girl. I work every weekend, so weekdays are my slow time.
Congratulations and I agree that Jubilee Journey is precious! And so are you – I thank God for putting such Godly people like you in my life.

Thanks so much for thinking of me 🙂 I’m really glad your blog is doing well and you’re able to talk here. Blogging makes such a difference to me, I hope it is all positive for you too xx
You are so welcome. You are such a fighter, I admire your perseverance. I guess for me blogging is positive, but sometimes I can’t believe what comes out. Has that happened to you? I really just write, not thinking too much about it. Sometimes I go back and its like did I really say that? Omg!
I am glad you won this award. You deserve it.
Thank you Daryl. It is amazing what God can do with a life. 🙂
Jesus is my “Liebster” of them all 🙂 Love it !!! thanks for posting this!!!!
