Who Am I?

I'm just a guy trying to trust in God and be the best I can be for God and others, then myself.

Adaptability and Harmony

As part of our training week for the upcoming summer camp all the councilors did this thing called strength finders. Basically we took this test and it told us our top five strengths, according to this test.
Two of my top three are adaptability and harmony.
For the most part I agree with my top five, but it's these two that drive me crazy!
Basically, when I read these I think "wow, I'm a hippy"... since I'm all about going with the flow and peace and harmony and all that jazz.
The funny thing about all of this was our priests response to the whole thing. We could tell he was not into it from the start. By the end if you wanted to hear a good rant all you had to do was bring up strength finders around him.
Father had a good point though. It's great to know what are strengths are, but as those who have read at least some of the Bible know, God likes to work through people's weaknesses.
Moses, huge amount of stage fright apparently, God still had him be the leader of his people.
Peter, definitely not the most faithful or upstanding of Jesus' followers, but he was named the rock.
God works through our weaknesses and thankfully I have many of them.

Peace all
