Getting to Know Michelle Shimrock

2. Food: What do you like?

· Candy: Reese’s, or better yet, mostly anything chocolate!

· Fruit: Apples, berries, bananas, kiwi, the list goes on!

· Is there anything that you can’t (or don’t like) to eat?: Mushrooms. It's not that I can't eat them, I just really dislike them! I actually am a pretty picky eater, which I hate to admit. I’m usually willing to try things, I just don’t end up liking a lot of them!

5. What is something you are excited about this year?

I am excited to serve the girls on my hall, and to have this new opportunity, and all around just making my senior year worth it and meaningful.

6. What is something that you are nervous about?

I am nervous about what I don’t know about. I worry a lot about things I don’t know about, which is a big struggle for me. Also, I am super nervous about managing all the craziness of senior year, trying to soak it all up before it’s over while still being faithful to things I have been called to do.

7. What is one thing you really want your floor to learn this year?

I want my floor to learn how to serve one another and learn how they can always work to become more Christ-like, fulfilling God’s will for them whether or not they know what their future holds.

8. Favorite movie? Why?: Titanic. It’s really well made, and I think it tells a really great story, even if it holds some questionable things! I also love The Parent Trap, it’s probably my favorite to quote J

9. Favorite way to worship?

Either while working out or simply having a writing utensil and paper and journaling.

10. Favorite author or book?

Oh boy…I love the Little House on the Prairie series, but I don’t think I would say those are my favorite books overall. But I don’t have a better answer right now.

11. Love language(s) (if you know, if not that’s ok too):

I receive love through touch, but I give through acts of service. I think that’s how it works…give one way, receive another way? I’m not really sure but I’ll go with that haha.

12. How do you relax?

Doing crafts or puzzles or playing games. Or being with some dear friends. Or watching Friends.

13. What do you need when you are feeling stressed?

Prayer! I know it’s all that can truly change things, and it is a comfort beyond belief.

14. Something I should know about you (as your supervisor)…

When I don’t say much, I am probably really struggling with something. My fears and struggles shut me up not only in that at those times I don’t say much in general, but I have a really hard time talking about the things I most need to open up about.

15. Something that really stresses you out?

Among other things, I get stressed when I don’t know what I’m going to do next. I like to plan!

How can we pray for you?

This summer is going to be crazy! I am only going to be home for 9 days and will spend the rest far, far away from home doing something that frightens me! I am working at a camp in Missouri, and these first 9 days here have been ROUGH. I need the Lord to be the only one I depend on, and I need to trust that I’m here for a reason. It has been really hard being here, but I think God has this in His plan for me. Pray for me to have peace about what I’m doing and strength to make it through the long hard days.
