I'm Not What I Feel
What personality type are you? I feel like I am asked this question of self-awareness often. There has been an Enneagram craze that leaves everyone analyzing the behaviors of one another based on this personality quiz.

Self-analysis should always cause you to be a better version of yourself. God created us each unique and different. Romans 12:6 says it best, “Let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other’s or trying to be something we aren’t.”

Your faith goes to a whole new level when you transition from wondering to knowing! So, how can you move your faith from wondering to knowing?

Relationships Done Right

These types of relationships aren’t a blessing at all. Before you came to know Christ, maybe your relationships looked like an episode of the Bachelor or Real Housewives, but after we come to know Christ, everything, including relationships, begins to change. Whether it is a relationship with a co-worker, spouse, child, family member, or friend, let God redefine what relationship means.
