New 25. What makes you feel most alive? (Hey, great question, so glad you asked!) I feel most alive when I'm talking about what Jesus has done for me, when I'm listening to someone and really see them -- the amazing person they are, when I'm playing the piano.
26. What do you do when you “have nothing to wear” (even though your closet’s packed)? Do laundry.27. Coffee or tea? Both. Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon.

34. What is the right way to avoid people who purposefully hurt you?
I think it's good to let them know how what they're doing is affecting you. But if they continue, I would put distance in the relationship.
35. How do you calm yourself down when you are agitated or angry?
I tell God about it, give Him my anger, and make the decision to trust Him with this. Since anger is a secondary emotion, usually there's something deeper going on, like I'm hurt or afraid. When I get a chance, I pray about it, ask Him for wisdom and clarity, and write my thoughts out to discover the real issue. Then we talk about it and I usually end up with truth, freedom and peace. :)
The modern ideal girl is one who is comfortable in her own skin, who has a clear sense of who she is and gets her identity from how God sees her, and who can focus on loving others because she is secure in His love for her.
(Whew! I'm done!)
Now who should I pass on this tag to? Hmmn, I'm thinking Becky and Ellie.
Ladies, I can't wait to read your answers! Have fun!

Hey Ang,
I love that your name means "Messenger of God".
I learned a lot about you from the list. I didn't know you could play the piano! How cool that you want to learn Romanian and Portuguese. And DJ is your fave magazine?
I can't believe you like Jackie Chan movies too! (Evan can't stand them). Oh and how could I have forgotten to list Pride & Prejudice, Julie & Julia (although I liked the Julia parts best), Narnia, LOTH and Princess Bride (Inconceivable! Anybody want a peanut?) and old classics. We should watch movies sometime.
You are a fun and interesting person and I'm glad to know you.
PS I wanna see that Tinkerbell dress sometime missy!
It was fun to get to know you a bit! :) Have a great weekend!
