In the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. – Psalm 5:3
Is anyone else here a fan of the Enneagram? I started learning about it a year ago and since then, it’s been such an awesome tool to learn about myself and how I relate to people around me.
If you’re not familiar, the Enneagram is a typology of nine interconnected personality types. On a basic level, it helps you determine who you are and why you operate the way you do. Even though there are lots of tests similar to this -strengths finder, Meyers Briggs, etc – this one really has a growth mindset and has a foundation of faith.
I’m a type 8 (The Challenger) and in all my research, one of the most helpful things I’ve learned about myself is that I tend to have a hard time being still before God, which means I need to work extra hard at it.
Since realizing this, I’ve been setting aside 5 minutes a day to be still and it’s been super encouraging. Lately, I’ve been hearing God tell me to wait expectantly. This bible journaling entry is a representation of my busy mind contrast with the hope of God’s word.
So now I’m curious, what number are you? Let me know below!
