It is so wonderful when things line up together. In January God showed me this beautiful picture of being the Queen of Lubbock in Mary Kay, but there was a 2nd part to that. The first thing she showed me is that I don't like to listen to other people that much and second I am more concerned with popularity. Before January I had already been working on smashing my thought process of status. Status is a huge deal in America. You are either poor, middle, or high class. You have no choice but to be in one of these three classes, but through Mary Kay I have been revealed that you can be whats called the world class.
World class people view the world differently than we do they look at an obstacle and view it is a stepping stone to climb higher. There way of thinking is bigger. I also learned that God has created your obstacle specifically for you! They are also people that are very open minded. They check their ego at the door. They know that adversity is the catalyst of mentally toughness. World class thinkers also when they are in a bad situation they say to themselves, "compared to what?" What that means is if you say, "I had the worst day of my life!" You would say, "compared to what?" So even though you are forced to be in a certain class in the US everybody has the choice to be a world class thinker and to stay mentally tough, but whats really cool is when you learn how to be mentally tough and you do all these things you can change your circumstances!
The second thing God showed me that I need to work on was my listening. I have been making a conscious decision to ask more questions about other people rather than spilled out my "wonderful knowledge" on them.
Both of those things I thought I heard from God on, but sometimes when your mind is so consumed with other things aka wedding, sometimes you don't know if you have missed the mark with God! Yesterday all of that was verified-at our Steppin' Up training we were learning all about the different personalities what strengths they have and what weakness I have. My personality trait is a "high I" which means we are very people oriented, we love recognition, their fear is rejection and working alone, they loved prizes, and have a big impact on people, but their three main down falls are 1. not paying attention to detail (I actually love detail so this one doesn't apply to me.) 2. Popularity and 3.Listen when convenient. When I heard those 3 things, tears almost started going down my face. It was a little embarrassing, but it was also really amazing to hear that I heard God through all of these distractions :)
6 days here we come........

Tiffany, you are amazing! I am so proud you are my granddaughter! You are beautiful on the outside, but more importantly, you are beautiful on the inside! Love you, Grandma
ReplyDeleteAren't we thankful for a wonderful God who is so patient with us. He takes us from one lesson to another when others would like us to learn all of our lessons at once. I'm so glad you are my daughter and I love you always. Mom
