Part I - the Real Me..

I get a daily devotion from Proverbs 31 in my e-mail every morning. It is so incredible how they can describe me to the T sometimes.

This devotion describes a common question of mine. What is my dream job? What in the world would I do if I had a million dollars? or all the free time I needed?

The devotion reminded me to continue to ask God what his dreams are for my life. And that I need to get to know the real me. Instead of just realizing that my personality is unique, ask why my personality is unique and how does that relate to God's plans for my life.

I think it's such a great idea to pick up a book and study personality traits..I have never seen anything like this before and I thought this was great :

In her book, Personality Plus, Florence Littauer describes four personality/temperment types. See if you can relate to the desires and emotional needs of one or two of these:

Phlegmatic: Desires PEACE
Needs times of quiet, reduced stress, feeling of worth, relaxation

Choleric: Desires CONTROL
Needs appreciation for achievements, opportunity for leadership, and participation in decisions

Sanguine: Desires FUN
Needs attention, affection, approval, activity with people

Melancholy: Desires PERFECTION
Needs sensitivity, stability, support, space, silence

I am definitely choleric & maybe a mix between phlegmatic/melancholy? Would I rather be peace & fun? YES! But I know that the Lord "created my inmost being; (and) knit me together in my mother's womb." (Psalm 139:13) I am uniquely made and God has unique plans for my life.

I'll be ordering that book. Join me in getting to know the women God created us to be.
