Mitzi’s Blog and Bio

Why I’m A F.L.: To learn how to better serve God and the body of Christ.
Favorite Scripture and why (what you’ve been thinking about):
Psalms 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalms 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
These have been my favorite scriptures lately because there are so many things that are going on at the same time and I can get overwhelmed if my focus is on worldly things. These verses help me to slow down. I have no need to get worried or upset because God gives me the peace and the strength I need to accomplish all I need to do as long as my thoughts and my focus are centered around Him.
On a Bad Day, I:
On a bad day I start by trying to figure out why I am having a bad day. Sometimes just taking a moment to myself to analyze what is going on can go a long way to fixing the problem. Once the cause is identified, I try to do what I can to fix it. An example of this would be if someone had said something to me that hurt my feelings and I was dwelling on what they said. I would go find that person and talk to them to resolve the hurt feelings. Sometimes I am tired and can tend to be cranky. In a situation like that I do my best to pay attention to my attitude because no one else is responsible for my being tired. Other times there does not appear to be any reason why I am having a bad day. So I take some time to either read the Word or recite it to myself and build myself up. I have never had an instance where reading the Word didn�t make my day better.
Music style: Classic Rock
Ultimate Dinner Guests (If you could have a dinner party with three people, living or dead, who would they be):
Socrates, Michelangelo, Steven Tyler
Pet Peeves:
People who are parrots - meaning people that tend to just repeat things they have heard without looking into them to verify their validity. This can include gossip, but also includes opinions or viewpoints.
People who don’t clean up after themselves.
People who do not deal honestly with others.
Drivers who don’t use their turn signals.
What I Like (hobbies, secular passions): Playing the piano and doing artwork.
Thank you and I CAN’T WAIT to see you!
