who am i?

So, I just took a spiritual/self-assessment deal and was slightly freaked out by how spot-on it was. It was given by monvee.com.


Jessica... in a nutshell...

-My learning preferences: I am a verbal communicator (through reading, writing, and speaking). Those who know me at all know that I love to process things outloud or on paper. I love to write and journal and hear myself talk. ;)

-I am on the Creation Pathway-- meaning I love to see God in nature. I mean, I agree with this, but I don't actually do this on a regular basis or pursue it. So maybe this is a little off.

-I am deceitful and dishonest. While I don't really want to brag about this part of who I am, it is completely true. I am able to mislead and manipulate really well, and I am just now realizing that about me and fighting against it. 

-The best me is to accomplish and perform well. "You are a natural born leader either functionally or morally because people like to follow you and work with you to accomplish great things. You have a winsome way with people that help you accomplish your goals and connect warmly with others. Your optimism and faith is contagious; it is what makes people want to follow you."

-The bad side of me: I am a people pleaser who manicures an image of strength. I need to be careful always thinking I am right and be careful not to close off and have superficial relationships. I need to let people know the real me, even if it tarnishes my image. (sooo true!)

-"In quiet moments you can feel worthless and worried that you are 'not making it.' You have a strong desire to feel valuable, to do meaningful things and be recognized for it." --- SO TRUE.

-"You are motivated by affirmation from those around you."---I am realizing how true this is in my life right now. My love language is definitely "words of affirmation." But God is reminding me that HE is my source of admiration. That it doesn't matter what other people think about me, but only what HE views me as. Such a beautiful reminder, but a really hard thing to overcome.

-Personal growth recommendation: Strive for authenticity. Be intentional about letting your circle of friends see you open and vulnerable. Take breaks-- which don't necessarily mean sitting still. These are two things that God has really laid on my heart over the last few months and it was really cool to see them affirmed on paper.

Overall, this survey was super insightful and led to many, "Crap. That is totally me." statements. And ultimately, EVERY SINGLE THING that this said about me God has been laying on my heart in the last few months. While not everything was negative, some of these characteristics and personality tendencies are pulling me away from him.
