I write:
Not for the sake of Success
Not for the sake of Fame
Not for the sake of Glory
But for the sake of my Soul
So I write :) even if no one dares to read.
After 15 months on board the Logos Hope ship, we had a Get Perspective Seminar & Life Direction training seminar. we took lots of personality tests (excerpts from one of Tim Lahaye's books). It was AMAZING to see myself on paper. That's how it felt like. You can know yourself in your head and your mind BUT sometimes when it's expressed externally either on paper or by someone who observes you, you realize WHO YOU ARE again! I am blown away. Sometimes God needs to remind us of who we are so we can see who he is and all that he can do. During the intermission's in our sessions, we got some 'quiet reflection' times to just pray, journal, answer test questions etc and that solitude time was BEAUTIFUL! Here's some things that the tests revealed about me today:
My Natural Gifts (the top 4) :
* Artistic (Creator)
* Conventional (Organizer)
* Enterprising (Persuader)
* Realistic (Do'er)
My Spiritual Gifts (Top 3):
* Faith
* Wisdom & Creative Communication
* Helps, Intercession & Knowledge
Surprise! Surprise! :)
When Bethany Hamilton's arm was bitten off by a shark at age 13, she later asked her youth leader why God was allowing this and why this would happen to her. Her youth leader told her that she didn't know and she didn't have all the answers but what would really help was to get 'A New Perspective.' Later, Bethany went to Thailand with World vision to help the victims of the Tsunami. This helped her see from a new perspective that though she had lost her arm, she still had other parts of her body and wasn't dead. Though the Thai people had lost their homes, belongings and even friends and relatives, they were still alive! Sometimes getting a new perspective helps.
