those three words.

No, I'm not talking about not the usual 3 words ("I love you" for those playing at home)! My lovely chicka, Kristen, is asking us to describe, in three words or less, who we believe God says we are, individually, specific, honest.

My chosen three words are 'Imperfect but Redeemed' (well, two if you want to be really technical!). Why, you may ask, did I choose those specific words and what do they mean to me? Ah, I'm glad you asked, because I will tell you!

Imperfect (adj.)
1. having faults or errors
2. not complete
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/imperfect

Well, this is me! As much as I try, I don't believe that I will ever be perfect. That's not to say that I won't strive for it, as I have been told to (Matthew 5:43-48), but I have no illusions as to the results!

But (conj.)
2. Contrary to expectation; yet:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/but%20target=

Ooh, is there hope for me?

Redeemed (tr.v)
6. To set free; rescue or ransom.
7. To save from a state of sinfulness and its consequences.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/redeemed

Yes, indeed I have hope because I have been redeemed, saved, set free, any other synonym you can think of!

So, my three words! Please visit my chicka and tell her who you believe YOU are to Christ!

Raise Your Voice with Hilary Duff
(corny, I know but I love what is behind this movie!)


If I were a house, I would be



a cottage in a small country town


If I were a book, I would be

If I were a time of day, I would be



dusk


If I were a drink, I would be



a Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks


Lucky last - If I were a piece of clothing, I would be

as of late in July.

I am following in the footsteps of my beloved chicka, Kristen, and will give you my monthly 'as of late...' because, well, just.

As of late...

I have been saying 'yes' to more than I should.
I have been so tired because I have said 'yes'.
I have been forgetting to trust in the Lord.
I am valuing my friendships more than ever before.
I am realising that my life should be more than just meetings & events.

And in the spirit of conversations,

what are your as of late's?

caffeinated randomness #9 : who knows what.

Ooh, I'm so tired! What a week that I wish I could just erase... I bet my coworkers think this would be good also - so many mistakes :P:P

So today, you get to find out what type of blogger I am!




You Are a Life Blogger!



Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary.

If it happens, you blog it. And you make it as entertaining as possible.

You may be guilty of over-sharing a bit on your blog, but you can't help it.

Your life is truly an open book. Or in this case, an open blog!



So there you go... I wonder what the other options are :)

Well, my lovelies (by the way, Andrea, do you mind if we both have this nickname? Cos I've been saying it for a while now!! teehee), I am off to see The Proposal with my free tickets from Hudsons! Yay for a date with my husby.

Have a brilliant weekend!

And for more caffeinated randomness, visit Under Grace & Over Coffee.

caffeinated randomness: looky, its new!

I thought I would follow in the footsteps of all those lovely reviewers out there and make a whole separate blog for my book reviews:


So, I'll be updating it until I like the look of it.. and posting my reviews on it (because now I have found a calling!).. and maybe I'll have a giveaway or two because I just like giving things away!

So, have a lovely caffeinated weekend! I'm getting my hair cut and going to a bonfire this weekend.. how's that for random?

For more randomness, visit Under Grace & Over Coffee - she's great at doing 'random'!
