Yes, I like to test people.
OUR FACEBOOK MOMENTS:
Wow. they were spot on! I wanna play too so I took the quiz. Can you guess mine?
Uh, is loving sarcasm a gift? hehe Based on the list on that site, I'd say teaching and serving....I could go into a long lovely paragraph about how awesome you are like Beth did, but she's just so much better at it, so I'll leave the writing to the writer :-) XOXO (gossip girl just went through my head!)
I'm with Hes...teaching, serving, but definitely administration, big time. I could see you with lots of the spiritual gifts though! Which were they? Should I write a paragraph on what BETH thinks your spiritual gifts are? I'd be happy to.... :)
Yes yes, write a paragraph about Jenny's gifts! hehe I know one of Beth's....encouraging through writing :-)
So yah!!! I want paragraphs too. Then I'll tell you what the survey says!
OK, Jenny's gifts. I'm not doing spiritual gifts, you already took that quiz. I'll just do yours like I did, Hes.
1) Very good taste in music, except sex music :) You are the only person I know who I would actually trade ipods with (and I'm very picky in this area)
2) Hostessing...Yes, I think you are a good hostess, because I think you like to help other people have fun and enjoy themselves. Yeah, you want everything to look good and be just right, but mostly it's because you want everyone to feel loved and cared about. You barely scrapbook when we are all there b/c you are always helping us figure out what to do. And of course, figuring in to all of that is the fact that you are a natual teacher and leader, so you make a great hostess.
3) Natural leader...you just end up being the person everyone looks to b/c you don't mind making decisions. You can pretty quickly decide what will be the most fun for everyone so we just let you! :) Hey, someone's gotta' do it!
4) On the spiritual front...I like that you think. You don't just accept what other people say. You actually think about it, pray about, search out your own answers. You aren't afraid to disagree and ferret out the truth. I think you are the type of person that when you do finally weigh it all out, you are really strong then in those beliefs. It seems like God is really building a strong foundation in you that is going to be rock solid. He only gives people foundations like that, the kind that take a really long time to build, b/c He has big plans to build a mighty building there that needs a secure base. With being a natural leader, teacher, host and of course, super fun, people just readily gravitate to you for advice and they covet your friendship.
5) Encouragement and Honesty!... You're a pusher (not drugs) I don't know how you do it, but you are always pushing yourself and everyone around you to do better. You're not lazy or content to just sit around hoping things get better. You're always trying to figure out how to do things the absolute best you can...and you've got the folders, files, and planned out schedules to prove it! ever since I've known you, you've been on a jenny-self-improvement plan, and I think you put me on the jenny-self-improvement plan (and everyone else too...i'm thinking Hes' closet and Anna's eyebrows!) I love that about you! You do it with humor and grace...and maybe a little sarcasm, but we can always tell that you just want the people around you to be their best and if you have info that can help them do that, then you will offer it. It's a good thing to have an honest friend, who will really help you and tell it to you straight when you ask them too. A lot of people are too worried about what people will think of them to go out on a limb and be truthful. I get so tired of trying to guess what people are thinking or feeling, and it's a relief to be around you, b/c you keep it real.

I ♥ you!!! You really get me! I am even crying (or tearing up at least) which I don't do often unless the person that touches my heart is under the age of 12...so feel privileged to be able to bring tears to my eyes!
You were totally right on the spiritual front too!
#1 Administration
#2 Exhortation (didn't even know what that was)
followed behind by
#3 Pastor/ Shepard
#4 Teaching ...I'm surprised it was so far down now? I think God is in the process of changing me. Teaching was much higher (1 or 2 ) last time I took this. Must be why I felt it was time for me to leave teaching on Sundays???
PS. You are indeed a WAY awesome writer, like totally! You even made my faults sound like gifts. Girl. You are a special friend!

Why is it silly to ask your friends what they think of you, and if they can't be honest and help you be a better person, then are they truly your friends? I see you as an awesome mom, wife, teacher, and giver to so many. I am amazed at all you seem to fit into your schedule and your exuberance to live a fulfilling life with those you cherish most.
