Today I welcome a kindred spirit, an inspiration, a sparky personality, and future authoress.
I met Casey through ACFW and found her to be a rich source of Christlike friendship. When I asked Casey to share the "real" her with you, she said:
Defining You
I’m a writer. Words make up my world into a brighter,
cheerier place (though sometimes when my characters misbehave, it can become a
darker, more dangerous existence. ;-)
I have a list of words that describe me. Words that make up
who I am to my friends, my family and to myself.
Nerdy knitter.
Avid reader.
General all-around farm girl.
Sister.
Daughter.
Aspiring
author.
Contest
finalist.
Friend.
Jewelry
designer.
Nurses’
Aide.
I
wear a lot of hats. I use a lot of words. But you know the most important ones
to me? The words that represent those closest in my lives. Daughter. Sister.
Child of the King.
Sure,
being an aspiring author is great. Donning the scrubs is a challenge. And
making the jewelry is just plain fun, but they don’t represent me.
Some
people would say it’s my chair-dancing personality sneaking out and I’m just a
fun-lovin’ gal. (That’s what my ACFW friends would say.)
My
Alley Cats would just call me cheeky and sassy (when they are having a
friendly, be-nice-to-Casey) day.
My
family would tell you I’m helpful and a great daughter (might as well aim for
the best, right??) but can be a might disagreeable at times.
But
what I do I really want to be labeled
for? What words do I want people to think of when they see me?
Christ-like.
Loving.
Giving.
Those are the words I want remembered of
me and spoken of when my name is said. I want my heart to be so synonymous with
Christ’s that nothing can separate one from the other.
If
you had three words you had to pick, which ones would you choose and hope
people would say of you? I hope you’ll share in the comments, I’d love to get
to know you!Some day you will hold one of Casey Herringshaw's books in your hand. You'll stay up late trying to finish a chapter then tell all your friends the next day. For now, please share a word of encouragement for Casey.
Comments
Hhhhmmm, what I want others to think about me...okay, how about, Jesus-follower, loving, happy-laughter-guru (I love to laugh!)
Girlfriend, I can't WAIT to meet you, I hope you plan to hang around a couple hours.
LOVE your descriptive words. Totally you. Love that laugh. :D
Thanks for stopping by to see Case and me. You picked good words to describe you:)
It's gonna be a fun few days having you here. Oh, and I left those other pics at home:)
My list is somewhat similar to yours. :) Voracious reader. Aspiring author. Quaking query-ier. :) But thanks for the reminder that sister, daughter, BFF, friend, neighbor, teacher, saved-by-grace-sinner...*these* are the words that are the most important to me.
Blessings,
Rachelle
I think many of us stand by you in the quaking query-ier category.
Will you be at the conference?
Hope so.
Thanks for joining us today.
God's daughter
Wife-and-mother

Yeah, yeah, I know . . . I cheated a little with the hyphens. :-)Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Sounds like your plate is full with exciting things. Perhaps another year?
I too like your choices.
Write them down and paste them by your computer as a reminder. Great words:)
Hugs,
Julie
