My Personality In A Nutshell!

I did this personality test a while ago, and just thought I would post it on here, so you can have a better insight on who and I am how I think!

Your PersonalDNA Report:


You Are a Visionary



Your imagination, self-assuredness, and knowledge of the world combine to make you a VISIONARY.
You have clear notions of how things could be, and the confidence to try to make them that way.
Not needing others' approval to forge ahead, you are confident in your designs for the future.
Your imagination allows you to envision the world as a better place.
You're better at thinking of the big picture than you are with details, and you can see wonder in abstract things.
Style and appearances are important to you, and you have a good eye for beauty.
You are somewhat rigid in your beliefs, which comes from both confidence and an aversion to change.
You are good at creating works of art in forms with which you're familiar.
You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
If you want to be different:
Appreciate the earthly, functional elements of things.
Your clarity of vision sometimes prevents you from being open to new ideas. Try expanding your horizon of experiences, and experimenting with novel ways of doing things.

How you relate to others:

You are Benevolent

You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT
You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.
Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.
You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.
You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.
Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others.
Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.
Because of your understanding and patience, you tend to bring out the best in people.
If you want to be different:
You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but don't forget to take care of yourself!
Sometimes you can get over committed, and when you sacrifice spending time with those close to you, it can make them feel unimportant.

God's Wonderful Creation

 



Genesis 1:3-8

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

A Wife of Noble Character

 

Proverbs 31:10-31

10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Fishers of Men

 



Matthew 4:18-20
18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

God called, and they "At once" left what they were doing and followed Him. Today should we not do the same?

Lilies

 


Luke 12:22-29

22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27 "Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.

The Light Of The World

 



Matthew 5:14-16


14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

SHUT UP

Shut up! No seriously . . . shut up! You know stop talking, close your pie hole . . . shut your mouth . . . you obviously aren't getting it! SHUT UP!!! How many times have you heard it said it or thought it . . even of yourself. I've had it.

What i believe is not politically correct, fluffy or for the faint of heart or weak of mind.

I am a Christian! I believe that Christ died for me on the cross about 2000 years ago. I believe that he died to pay the ultimate price for my sins, and yes I do sin. I believe that He rose from the dead 3 days later to prove that He is who He said He is, the sinless son of God. I believe that through my faith in Him, not by my works that I will receive the gift of salvation.

Sharing about my faith has been difficult. I stood in a soccer field in Mexico and told dozens of people about my relationship with Christ and how He has changed my life. So why do I find it so hard to tell people I see everyday about my faith. Am I embarrassed? Am I ashamed? Truthfully, yes! Now, I ask, who makes me feel this way?

Simple . . . who would want me to stop telling people about the redeeming love of Christ? Can you guess? Well let me tell you. Satan. He wants nothing more than for me to shut up. He knows that I have been snapped out of his hand, he already lost me . . . but what about the people that I will tell . . . what about the people reading this right now? So at every opportunity he tries to stop me. He doesn't want you to know. He doesn't want you to know about the freedom that there is in Christ. He doesn't want you to even think about the possibility of the after life. Why? He wants you! He wants you to suffer with him in hell for all eternity. Why? Misery loves company, and he wants yours.

Acts 4:20 For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.

God has done so much for me and in me. I have seen miracles, healing and many life changing things. Why should I shut up? The Bible tells me to go. Go and make disciples, speak, share and love.

I know there will be trials, persecution and suffering. BUT I also know about the life changing grace of God. I know what it truly means to be loved and forgiven. I know what it means to have hope. Money can't buy it. I know what it means to have self worth. God knows the very number of the hairs on my head and that he cares for me. That's right the God that created the whole earth, cares about me . . . and you! The next time you see a thunder storm, hurricane, volcano or the stars, just pause for a moment and take it all in. The All Powerful God that created all of those things, care for you, loves you and even hung on a cross for you!

No, I won't shut up!
