I am starting off the New Year right by jumping onto SHARE YOUR WORLD early this week…year. I love this challenge and will continue participating in it throughout the year, as it gives me an opportunity to reveal more about myself and life here at The Vicarage…which is one of my goals for the New Year.

So here are Melanie’s questions and my answers. When you have finished reading here please stop on over to Melanie’s blog, Sparks From A Combustible Mind, using the underlined link above, so that you can see what her other contributors have added to the conversation.
QUESTIONS:
What’s a relationship deal breaker for you?
I guess it depends what kind of relationship we are talking about. I tend to let people in as far as they can be trusted; So how close you are allowed to get to me in the first place relies on your trustworthiness. How close I let you stay is also dependent on said trustworthiness. That said, I don’t tend to go from”zero to hero or hero to zero” in one step with people. Relationships with me are slow growing and slow fading.
Do you believe in extra-terrestrials?
Of course! I just call them angels and demons or maybe Nephilim and Anakim.
In the morning, do you hit the snooze button on your alarm (sometimes repeatedly) or do you leap out of bed, ready to face the day?
I am a deeply committed button pusher.
If you came back in the next life as an animal, which animal would you choose to be? (and even if you don’t believe in that, let’s suspend belief for a moment just to have a little fun).
Oh! I played this on Facebook the other day. It said I was a dragon.

GRATITUDE (Participation is always optional)
What do you plan to work on this year to make it better than last year (personal goals, physically or mentally, or all three)?
I will give you a line from my blog...”You May Have Noticed.”
My goal this year is two-fold: Community and Stewardship. I intend to build community… and I intend to steward all my artistry towards kingdom provision.
Thanks, Joseph for Sharing Your World! A dragon? That’s amazing and right in the spirit of the question as intended! And yes, angels and demons are ‘extra terrestrials’, so great answer there too! All your answers were uplifting and I wish you the very best New Year! Have a wonderful week!
Thank you for continuing to host this challenge Melanie! I think 2021 will be a year filled with great challenges, great adventures and great beauty.
