Dawn’s Questions to Me

1. Who would you want to have dinner with and why?

Does it sound cheesy if I say Jesus because He’s the one that comes to mind. Why? I would like to actually dine with my Master

2. What inspired you to start writing a blog?

I’m a scribbler by nature and so I felt God was telling me to be brave and take the initiative and cultivate my talent.

3. How would you describe yourself in one sentence?

Deandra is a loyal, caring, sensitive and sometimes quirky girl.

4. What is an important lesson you’ve learned in life?

Two: Never say never and be quicker to show grace than judgment

5. What is your favorite food?

Pasta (yes, this Jamaican girl loves her some pasta)

6. What is your favorite memory?

When my son was baptized

7. What is your favorite color and why?

Pink – I don’t really know, guess it’s a girl thing for me

8. Do you have a role-model? If so, who is it?

At the moment, I have folks that I admire but none that I want to be. I remember once choosing to act out the way a friend was doing (tit for tat) and Holy Spirit rebuked me and said, “why you are you trying to be like so and so, I have called you to be like Me”

9. With whom do you enjoy spending time?

My family!

10. Do you prefer cold or hot weather?

Cold – I can always warm up. If it’s too hot, I cannot walk around naked
