Yesterday I had the pleasure of hanging out with Grace. Before yesterday, I didn't really know her that well, all I really knew is that she is that she is Christian, a mother, a wife, and a kind, soft-spoken individuals. Also, that she is an amazing cook. Who won't share her recipes.
I asked her if she would like to hang out sometime. I was kinda looking for a strong Christian woman (wife) to spend time with and learn from. So I asked this lovely lady if we could do something girly sometime. (I figured we would at least have that in common, considering I am far from soft-spoken amazing cook.) And we did, which brings us back to yesterday.
These are a few things I learned, and maybe wasn't exactly expecting:
- She grew up in Ghana.
- She moved to England in her late teenage years.
- She completed a degree in Civil Engineering from Oxford University.
- Got married and had a baby
- She headed back to school and started a masters in Structural Civil Engineering, but then became interested in law...
- She started a masters degree in secretarial law, and finished it.
- Had another baby.
- Raised 2 children whiled married and working
- Had a third baby, then moved her family to Montreal a few months later for her husband's career.
- Set up a beautiful home, established her kids in a new continent, supported her husband at his job.
- Now that everyone is settled, she is studying for an entrance exam to McGill's MBA program.
- All this while she has been a strong Christian women
- And, she knows of a fantastic place to get a pedicure.
Ok, has anyone read Proverbs 31 lately?
Yes, lots to learn. I think another pedicure is in our future. Or maybe skydiving, who knows.
