..Tam.Odom..

So I am a few hours short of making this top ten blog post on Thursday, AND i am a few items short of making it a top ten! But I decided I would let you share ten words that describe me! I appreciate these words because they served as not only definition of who I am, but they encouraged me to know how you view me!

Feisty  (Melodie)

My response: Lately my work-studies feel as though I have been a little feisty. I think it might be the real me coming out. So I say, bring it! Mel- I got some sassy pants from Bree if you need to try some on.

Dependable (Solmaz)

My response: I strive to be someone that people can depend on so to know that you view me this way is encouraging. I think this was instilled in me through my Granny. She always told me to commit and give 100% until it was finished so I took that with me. I think watching mothers like you teaches me even more about being a dependable person.

Leader (Jessie)

My response: To be honest, this is one of those I battle with. I am not always confident that I am a good leader. But the fact that you see that quality in me definitely spurs me on to be intentional with developing myself into a better leader. I hope to learn from you too Jessie!

Spiritual (Mrs. Peggy)

My response: I have definitely grown in my walk with the Lord in the last couple of years. I know that through doing Women’s Ministry and specifically with the female athletes I have been molded and shaped in my beliefs and been more comfortable in sharing my faith with others. I appreciate you for sharing Mrs. Peggy.

Organized (Clark)

My response: Thank goodness the Lord gave me the gift of administration and I get to use it daily in my job. I believe that this is probably one of those strengths that I can confidently bring to the table on whatever team I am on. I hope to become better at it every year as we plan our strategies and events to reach our campus. Thank you Clark for trusting me with this task.

Supportive (Mrs. Traci)

My response: I’ve been blessed beyond words and it would take days to tell you the stories of how my heart to support those around me has been support to me! I find joy and contentment through going to games and spending time with people. I know without doubt that the Lord used my photography skills to impact lives in a more eternal way. I am just thankful for people like you who support me and love me unconditionally!

Tamfastic (aka a good friend) (Michael)

My response: You have to be a good friend to have a good friend. I’ve been fortunate enough to have some really good friends who support me and love me and encourage me. Even thinking back to the one who gave me the nickname, Tamfastic, was someone who exemplified being a good friend. I am always learning how to be a good friend!

Talented (Nae)

My response: To God be the Glory… I am surprised that the Lord has not taken away some of the talents/skills that He gave to me because I have not always been obedient to use them (especially for His glory). I have found that in order to be a good steward of what the Lord has given me that I must use my talents to bless other people because I don’t always have the money to do so. The times I have been faithful to use my talents are usually because I have friends like you, Nae, who push me to do it!

Thanks for all of your feedback! I am blessed!
