Confessions of a Peace Lover...
http://www.crown.org/Tools/personality.aspx
I came upon this web-site several years ago. It has many wonderful tools, but the one I've had the most fun with is the personality assessment. I took one for myself, and then proceeded to take one for each member of my household (and when they took it for themselves it came as no surprise to see that the mama had them all figured out...well mostly=).
The funny thing for me was that the test results showed my personality as an "Encourager" something I never saw myself as and, consequently, had been praying for God to develop in my life. Seeing my strengths and struggles in black and white was such an eye-opener!
So what are you waiting for? Let me "encourage" you to take the test already! I'll wait...go...NOW!
There, that wasn't so hard was it?
As you read over your strengths -and struggles - are you assessing them in areas of your life? Mine said I "shy away from conflict"...hello...if you've read any of my previous blogs you'll know that was right on! But we aren't made aware of struggles so we can sit and stew in them. I honestly believe that God shines His light on these areas so we can acknowledge them, learn how to overcome them, and grow! Same with our strengths, it's not enough to possess them; we need to be good stewards of the gifts and abilities that God has placed in us.
Take a moment to review your list in regards to three areas of your life:
1. Personally - at home and in close relationships. 2. Professionally - think about the place you receive a paycheck from...are you working in your area of strength, are you getting to use your gifts? If not, I'll bet you don't like your job very much! 3. Ministry - where are you giving your time? Are you simply filling in a vacant spot or are you using the wonderful gifts that God has placed in you for the benefit of others?
For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made...Psalm 139:13-14a
Until next time...
