Week Three

This week has absolutely flown by! It was another wonderful week full of revelation. God definitely proved Himself as my Most Trustworthy Faithful Provider!!! I was behind on finances and God blessed me with almost all the money I need to pay my bills for May AND June! Cool, huh? His grace truly is sufficient for me!

We learned about personality types this week and how to embrace our own and other people's God-given personalities. We received a lot of explanation of the different types of people and it is so beneficial to learn all of that while I am living in community. It also helped me to understand more about myself. We took the Laurie Beth Jones Path Elements Profile test and it is based on the four elements: Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. My primary is Earth (organized, analytical, etc) and my secondary is Fire (determined, visionary, etc). Water (compassionate, go-with-the-flow, etc) wasn't too far behind Fire but Wind was very, very low compared to the others. Wind is the type that is very cheerful, friendly, enthusiastic, relational, talkative, etc. It revealed so much to me as to why I function the way I do. I think, because of this, I am better able to accept myself for who I am. The challenging part for me is to fully embrace and accept my opposite (Wind). I don't fully understand why they are the way they are, except to know that it's how God created them. But still, these are the types of people that are often hardest for me to understand so this is a time of great growth for me as I learn to cherish them and see what I can learn from them.
