I believe this with all my heart. But what is possible only God can decide that, it's up to us to trust he has a plan, and not will things into place.

Taste and see, that the Lord he is good
Christian had his first taste of wine tonight at confirmation. This was not communion as the wine was not blessed. The reason these 7th graders had a small taste of wine... To understand the reason behind this sacred act.
After their taste, pastor asked what they experienced. Most said how horrible the wine tasted. One girl noted that she felt a slight burn in her throat. Pastor then pointed out that taking communion is a tangible way for us to feel and remember that we are forgiven.
Thank you Pastor E*, for this valuable lesson that Christian was taught tonight. Also a big thank you for my refresher!

How do you spell LOVE?
Sam came home from school yesterday with a new skill. He learned how to spell LOVE! Last night he practiced spelling on my back. With his finger he would trace a letter on my back and I would try to guess the letter. It felt soooo good! Every so often he'd throw in another letter to try and throw me off :) I really did feel loved!

Long overdue.. research done on MBTI
After learning what my four letters were, I had a great interest in the Jung theory, wanting to learn what it was all about. After lots of filtering through all the fanfare and misunderstanding I've finally come to a greater understand, and fulfilled the J in me to cross this off my list!
Learning all the thought processes has helped me to understand why the other person is acting a certain way the.. and not to bring my angst into the picture, they perceive reality a different way that I do.
Reduce conflicts in relationships by knowing and empathizing how the other person thinks.
Personality type.. it's the interface between you and the rest of the world. How you filter information! Of the millions of people on this planet.. patterns can be mapped of how people react to the world. Hence why people have enjoyed reading / watching movies / plays ect. which includes their archetype.
It's easy to understand people that have taken the time to understand how other people tick, have an advantage in being happier in life. Also understanding your strengths and weaknesses.
For me it's easy to understand why we have preferences for one brain function or the other. I remember feeling this as a child. Simplified.. When your learning a new task, what ever function comes easiest and you use it, you will be rewarded w/ sucess. Ball is thrown at you, the decision comes easy to catch it w/ the hand that is dominate. That nuero pathway has just been strengthened. The same is true when you exercise a certain thought process. If you realize as a child it's easier for you to .....
The functions -
Introvert vs Extrovert
Introversion not to be confused with shy
Extroversion not be confused with outgoing.. There can by shy extroverts, and outgoing introverts!
Intuition vs Sensing
Se- concrete, what is there. Taking information in through your senses.
Sailors delight- red sky in morn sailors be warned. Quote must have been from an Intuitive thinker.
Se thinker - BUT IT'S RAINING NOW!
Don't miss what's in front of your face..when you look for patterns or future output, you may miss things in the here in now.
Feeling vs Thinking
70% of women are dominate feelers
70% of men are dominate thinkers
What's fair is fair.. right, NO! We all have a different thought proccess of this!
Fe.. what it fair... feeling, yes Maddy had it last 3 times but we are going on a long trip.. she gets car sick in the back if we are driving a long way.
Te- what is fair... calculations.. who had the front seat last.
Judging vs Perceiving
Judging... Need checkmarks on a project.. start right away.. be on time.. angst if working at last min. Don't get tunnel vision.
Perciving... take in all the information.. procrastinate.. best work done in the last minute.. Project done.. lets look back and see what can be changed.
Yes we are all different but if we work together...
It;s imprortant to think in a colabroative sense. We are all here together. And as a christian.. the work to be done is to understand how to bring us to the same place... HEAVEN where none of these differences matter! God made us different, and loves us the same!
That said.. figure out who you are..
It's easy!
Example - INJF
Ni - First Function
Fe - Second
Ti- Third
Se - Fourth
