a meet up of influential women.

on my tenth anniversary trip to Seattle atop the Space needle. 

today i am super, super excited to be joining a link up with The Influence Network. 
if you haven't heard of it, please head on over and join. best $5 i've spent seriously. check it out and you'll know i'm not lying.

so in an effort to get to know each other a little better, here's three things about me that you might not know.

1. i'm a clean kitchen freak. 
i'm obsessed with having my kitchen clean. i mean the rest of the house can be upside down, but the kitchen  has to be spick and span. before i start cooking if there's any dishes that my kids/husband have left in the sink, they have to be washed first before i dirty any more. before going to sleep i have to wipe down the counters, and wash dirty dishes. there's nothing worst than waking up to a dirty kitchen, it automatically puts a damper on my morning! basically, there are some women who would prefer to be late to work before leaving out of the house with their hair undone, and then there's me who prefers to be late before leaving the kitchen a mess.

2. i love to worship. 
singing has always been a passion for me. i love reading God's word and digging into His truth, but singing and lifting up praises is where i find intimacy with the Lord. for a long time, i felt God calling me into leading worship, but big fears kept me from stepping forward. A few months ago, God opened the doors to it, and it's the most favorite part of my weekends. There's something about lifting my voice to sing about His unending love that makes my soul dance.

3. i wanted to be a flight attendant. 
as a little girl, i didn't want to be a princess, or a mommy. after my first experience flying around six, i wanted to be a flight attendant. i thought it was so cool how they got to stand up in the plane and travel all over the world. the irony is that i get so anxious the night before a flight. always. my stomach gets in knots and can barely sleep. go figure!

can't wait to read everyone else's. i love being part of this community even if i'm a newbie (literally just signed up last week), i have learned that it is a safe and welcoming place to be yourself. these women are all about lifting each other up, encouraging, supporting and most importantly taking the time to pray for one another. it's being part of something that is growing for His glory and i'm so happy to have taken the time to form part of it.

seriously, go and join!
