Don't know how to love?

My sister accused me of not knowing how to love. That was a very hurtful accusation that got me thinking about my personality. After taking one personality test after another, it turns out that I am a very feeling introverted person. I am choleric-phlegmatic. I may feel something intensely but not be able to come out and express it. The other thing that stood out was that I am a thinker. I make decisions logically and not based on feelings. She on the other hand, is greatly moved by emotions. When I fail to react as she would have me to, her conclusion becomes that I am emotionless or unable to love. False, false accusation.

Unfortunately, when people are going through difficult times, I tend to focus more on the solution to the problem. I do not come across as sympathetic even though I may think about how difficult the situation must be for that person. I skip the whole, 'how sad' phase and move right into 'so what do we do now?' She says that the reason I am not married, or seeing anyone is because I haven't a clue how to love. I wonder if she is right. I know sometimes I seem distant, in fact I have been told severally that I tend to come across as unapproachable, but how do I fix it? I can't just walk around like a grinning idiot in a bid to be more approachable. I just think men should stop being cowardly and step up to me, if they are so inclined.

I know I need to work on showing more emotion, being more sympathetic, judging less harshly and many other faults that I am learning are personality weaknesses. But I would appreciate some slack. You know what I'm saying?

Wheat or Tares?

Sometimes I wonder if God will let me into heaven or if I will get to the pearly gates only to be shown the road to the lake of burning sulfur. I fall short constantly and some times when I fall short I slide all the way down to the bottom. Like a bad game of snakes and ladders.

I need to learn how to be humble. I am just praying that God would help me because I struggle with pride. Especially when I think I have achieved much. Pray for me. Sometimes I am not sure if I am the wheat or the tares.

Great Fun!

You Belong in 1981

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

What Year Do You Belong In?

You Are Somewhat Approachable

You are a fairly friendly person, and you're definitely not scaring people away. You do tend to have your guard up strangers, and rightfully so. How approachable you are depends on who is trying to approach you. You're friendly to people who seem harmless and nice. But you also know how to give creepy people the cold shoulder!

Are You Approachable?

Goal Setting

It's been a while since I blogged but that is because there is so much God is doing for me at this time. First of all, God has blessed the work of my hands big time and is about to take me to another dimension all together. I am so psyched!!!

But before I go there I want to talk about Divine Acceleration. I am discovering that God has plans to take us some place, and now more than ever, he is pumped about getting us there. He has his foot on the accelerator of our lives but we are slowing him most of the time by not making plans for our future, setting goals and working them.

You heard me! Divine acceleration is a function of planning and goal setting. Did you know that if you set goals for your future you are likely to achieve 10 times more than you are currently achieving. That means, it will take you a shorter time to achieve financial freedom, start up your own company, loose weight etc...

Ok. I know. I sound like I have just discovered goal setting and in reality I feel that way. I have known about it, but never really got it. Not until I was led by the Spirit to purchase a copy of Brian Tracy's book "Goals!" last week. This is going down as one of the most life changing books of my life!!

I feel like my life is on gear 5, the accelerator pedal is jammed against the floor and I am flying down God's highway for me. Woooo hooo!!! Life, HERE I COME!!
