		<description>Great idea for a post. 

I used to be a &quot;high school director&quot;, but now I&#039;m a &quot;high school pastor&quot;... but I do the exact same thing as when I was a director. 

Church hierarchies are funny :)

		<description>I used to be a homeschooling mom...
now I&#039;m a blogger while they&#039;re in school.

I used to teach Bible studies at church and in the neighborhood...
now I teach the Bible online.

I used to be a workaholic...
now I rest most of the day (due to illness not laziness).

I used to be proud and legalistic...
now I&#039;m being humbled and learning about grace.

Oh, and I love your blog!!!

		<description>(Here I am :)

I used to be a career-woman, 
now I&#039;m a stay-at-home-mom.

I used to be a myspacer,
now I&#039;m a blogger.

I used to spend Madalyn&#039;s naps doing useful things, like cleaning,
now I blog.

I use to take for granted the time we had together as a family,
now I cherish every moment.

		<description>I used to spend all my money on expensive clothes
*Now I save...3 daughters, 3 weddings =/

I used to have a great body to wear such clothes
*Now I don&#039;t...3 daughters

I used to dance. Nonstop. Ballet, tap, ballroom, cheer.
*Now I can&#039;t afford it (see above)

I used try and get signatures on documents to have &quot;In God we Trust&quot; removed from our money.
*Now I want signatures in the Book of Life

I used to be cool
*Now, I&#039;m cool to my kids

		<description>I used to never be able to picture myself with children, now I couldn&#039;t imagine life without them.

I used to be quiet and shy and let people walk all over me, now I am not afraid to speak up and let people know how I feel.

I used to buy bread in the store, now I make my own, it tastes...soooooo good!

I used to wonder if I would ever find a nice guy and my mom told me I needed to be patient, now my last name is Patience...really it is!

I used to worry so much I would give myself anxiety attacks, now I have learned to put my trust in God and that he is in control.

I used to be allergic to cats, now I am not.

I used to hate the color orange, now it&#039;s my favorite.
