If You Met Me… Five Minute Friday

GO:

If you met me 20 years ago you would have met a different person.

Twenty years ago, I was what I thought was an “independent spirit” but really was just a girl with a bad attitude.

I was what my husband called “the Art League President from hell.”

I was bossy and had to do it all my way. I had to do it all because no one would do it the way I want it to be done. I was sarcastic and loud and outspoken… okay, so I am still a bit sarcastic. And I can be loud if I am really excited.

I often dressed to shock and usually spoke to shock and get a reaction too.

Thankfully, 19 years ago I met a wonderful Christ who changed that heart that didn’t want to ever get married or ever have kids. Homeshooling? What are you crazy? Now I wouldn’t think of anything but!

I still love being artistic, even though for years I wasn’t at all. Doing anything artsy was pushed away, influenced by slanted preaching that said Art is not useful to God.

So glad I woke up to that one.

I am thankful for my redeeming Jesus who has changed my life and made me new.

STOP.

I am linked up today over at Lisa-Jo’s where she hosts Five Minute Friday’s on her blog The Gypsy Mama. Her prompt for today is “If you met me…”.

I did better this week typing with my eyes closed. I did not have as many nasty red squiggly underlines this time when I opened them.
