i am a sanguine.
i remember doing the personality test for the first time when i was about 19. everyone else in the group, our youth leadership team, were cholerics or melancholics – aka in my head, leaders and wise thoughtful people. and i was, i AM, a sanguine. popular, funny, fluffy.
i was not impressed.
i took the test again. same result.
it took me some time, and some convincing, by Jesus, that being a sanguine is awesome. because its ME!
before i was born HE made me and called me.
i am purposed by Him.
i am designed by Him.
my life has a voice.
and i do ALOT of talking.
i was sharing today with someone how i had really wished i was in the other boxes… until i had got to that point of accepting and embracing who God had made me, and how that was to HIS advantage, and mine.
i am empowered by Him to serve Him. my personality is a gift for His purpose.
today, embrace who you are.
embrace the voice that God has given you.
YOU are YOU for a reason.
God uses MY voice, my LIFE, to speak to those around me. I am a voice for His gospel and with my life demonstrate that He is real and good and great.
I want to use my voice to speak life and hope and faith and destiny to those around me.
today, what are you using your voice for?

So funny as I would have been more chuffed to come out sanguine rather than Melancholic. In my prayer team in Scotland most were sanguine – so it was the other way around for me. God can mould us too, I’m becoming far more optimistic than I used to be. I choose to be!!
