You've got personality!

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

I've been in sales most of my working life. Started out in a resturant where my grandfather taught me about people and how to treat them. "The customer is always right. We do everything we can to make their experience exactly the way they want it, but they don't have to run over you for you to make them happy, ok?" I learned many of my personality traits over the years based on the lessons my grandfather taught me about people and business. I am a very dominate personality type if you haven't already figured that out. I know my friends are screaming "what an understatement, Billie Jean!" But most people who know me know that being the first born grandchild and daughter has molded me into a very bossy person. I do not apologize for my personality but I do know that each of us have different personalities. That is what I was always told 'made the world go round' so to speak.

In my sales experience I was trained on personality types. We also learned about them in high school in a program called 'True Colors' and my son did the program last year in the third grade. We are constantly being taught that we have to adapt to each other in order for our world to be lived in, in harmony. I agree with getting along but I also know that we are to stand up for what we believe in also and not allow others to run over us with their beliefs and ideals about certain 'stuff'. I'm not going to get on my soapbox b/c frankly I'm just exhausted today. I had an emotional time today in my personal life and I'm just glad Jesus is my best friend. He was there to comfort me when I didn't want to take my phone out and 'blab' to everyone about my problem or the situation that seemed to be a 'problem'. Is Jesus that for you? Think about who you run to when the bottom falls out of your life boat? Who and what do you turn to? I hope it is my friend, Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 18:24 "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
