Q&A Let's Get to Know Miss Grace!

Ditto for the rules.

1. What's your dream for the future? 
My dreams for the future....oh my!  Okay, well, first of all, I'd like to graduate high school.  I'll be doing that when I'm sixteen or seventeen.  Next, I'd like to attain at least a Bachelor's of Music Education (with an emphasis on vocal music) from the University of Central Missouri (hopefully!) or the University of Missouri-Kansas City.   I might go on to get my Master's of Music Education.  That would be amazing, since I feel like there are a lot more options with a Master's.  Plus...bragging rights.  ;) Just kiddin'!
I'd like to teach in a school for a couple of years...or get married right out of college, depending.
If -- when -- I do get hitched, I'll be having a family and homeschooling them.  I'm hoping for four or ten kids.  There is no in between.  ;)

2. If promise was an animal, what would she be? What would you be?
If Promise was an animal...she would be a cat.  A lone, solitary being that occasionally seeks interaction with others, that has claws that can strike, but is, in reality, a soft and fluffy and wonderful thing.  :)  I would be a dog...loving life, always up for absolutely anything.

3. Favorite ice cream flavor?
Favorite ice cream flavor is by far chunky cookie dough!  I actually got ice cream bowls for Christmas....I LOVE ICE CREAM!

4. If you could get sucked into a book, what book would you choose? 
I would choose my favorite novel, The Robe.  It's beautiful.  I like to think I would be like Marcellus' little sister, Lucia.  She was fifteen at the beginning of the novel, and I was fifteen when I read it, so I could relate to her a bit.  But perhaps I would dare to dream that I could be as brave as the beautiful Diana, Marcellus' love and wife.  She was daring, brave, and beautiful.  She gave her life for her newfound faith in God, and she loved Marcellus with everything she was.
I would love to be like Diana!

In fact..........if you need me, I'll be in my room.....reading of Marcellus, Diana, Lucia, and Demetrius.......

5. What's the best peice of advice you've ever been given? 
The best piece of advice ever....well, that's a hard one.  I've had friends tell me that if I studied and prayed, I would have a miraculous experience -- and upon taking that advice, I did...
But here is the best advice I've received.  I actually only got it Wednesday, but I know it is good because I recognized that it is in line with the Scriptures....

First, I'd say make Him your life.  Pray often, study, and fast.  Ask God for His help.  Ask Him to give you the strength to do it.  We can't make it on our own...You have to know God.  You MUST know His Spirit.  Plus, you have to have common sense.   Pray about all things.  Nothing is too big or too small for Him.
And by the way, it's still the same when you get older.  ...I'm still learning, and wondering what His will is for me...You also have to know that things happen in His time.  You can't force Him.

A friend and I had been in a Wednesday night prayer service, and they were talking about having a personal relationship with God.  I've heard about that many times, but I don't recall ever hearing how you get one.  So I asked my friend Rose, and she told me what you just read.  I then asked her how you knew God was leading you, because I was feeling pulled in so many directions at once.  That was the second paragraph.  Right after she texted me that, I opened my Bible.  It fell open at a "random" page, and this was the first thing I saw:

For it is written, He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee; and in his hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."  Luke 4:10

6. Finally- have YOU even been able to say 'Irish wristwatches?'

Yes!!!!!  In fact, a friend asked me that at Reunion one summer.  I spent the entire week practicing.  :)
