You are a creature of habit, and you tend to find your comforts in the familiar. You already know what you like.
You may be centered, but you aren't boring. You live a rich life with lots of variety - albeit well planned! |
Stay safe, everyone, watch your six!

Bible in a Year : Psalms 72–73; Romans 9:1–15
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
As a child, she had hurled vicious words at her parents. Little did she know that those words would be her last interaction with them. Now, even after years of counseling, she can’t forgive herself. Guilt and regret paralyze her.
We all live with regrets—some of them quite terrible. But the Bible shows us a way through the guilt. Let’s look at one example.
There’s no sugarcoating what King David did. It was the time “when kings go off to war,” but “David remained in Jerusalem” (2 Samuel 11:1). Away from the battle, he stole another man’s wife and tried to cover it up with murder (vv. 2–5, 14–15). God stopped David’s downward plunge (12:1–13), but the king would live the rest of his life with the knowledge of his sins.
While David was rising from the ashes, his general, Joab, was winning the battle David should have been leading (12:26). Joab challenged David, “Now muster the rest of the troops and besiege the city and capture it” (v. 28). David finally got back to his God-appointed place as the leader of his nation and his army (v. 29).
When we permit our past to crush us, in effect we’re telling God His grace isn’t enough. Regardless of what we’ve done, our Father extends His complete forgiveness to us. We can find, as David did, grace enough to get back in the battle.
What regrets gnaw at your soul? Who in your life might be a safe person to talk to for the reassurance of God’s grace?
Father, may we truly realize Your love defines us.
You know what you want in life, and you will assert yourself to get it. You are a natural leader. You are very honest and even blunt. People tend to know where they stand with you - you don't leave anyone guessing. You don't shy away from the truth, but it doesn't cost you any popularity points. Most folks appreciate your strong personality. You make the most of every moment, and you really savor the good things in life. You don't hold back when it comes to your own happiness.
I don't eat as many as years ago but today for lunch I had a big, juicy Swiss mushroom burger, it was awesome! {*Belch*}
You are a creature of habit, and you tend to find your comforts in the familiar. You already know what you like. Routine grounds you and keeps you stable. People are very envious of how calm and stress free your days are.
You may be centered, but you aren't boring. You live a rich life with lots of variety - albeit well planned! You reflect often on how to have the most happiness and peace. You are too humble to call yourself philosophical, but that's exactly what you are.
Hi Luv.
Sez here this week that I am spaghetti. Hey, it’s better than being meatballs I suppose.
YOU ARE SPAGHETTI
