One of the first things I did when I was shortly after being accepted to The World Race was we had to take the Myers-Briggs Personality Test. When we had to take this test, I decided to do this right away because we have certain deadlines throughout the race we have to meet or there could be a possibly of me not being able to go on The World Race. So I did the Myers-Brigg Personality Test and this is what my results were:

Blake Meehan's Personality type according to the test is an:
ESFJ
 
ENFJ's tend to be like this: Warmhearted, conscientious, and cooperative. Want harmony in their environment, work with determination to establish it. Like to work with others to complete tasks accurately and on time. Loyal, follow through even in small matters. Notice what others need in their day-by-day lives and try to provide it. Want to be appreciated for who they are and for what they contribute. (Offical Definition from The Myers-and Briggs Personality Types Website)

Some of my own character qualities are:
Caring
Loyal
Dependable
Reliable
Like to be on a Schedule
Funny
Real
Honest
Merciful
With the good comes some bad also because were all human so here's some honesty about me I also can be:
Impatient at times 
Hardheaded 
Stubborn 
Break my schedule- It's a Oh Hell NO!! Kind of Deal People in the South know if you hear those words you better RUN Fast!!
When you decide to come to Charlotte and I know who you are if you don't want me to know, that's fine don't call me, text me or facebook message me. The second a person does one of those three things to me I get excited and happy to see them!! When plans fall through and this took place I get really upset no kidding!! It's like when your little and you found out there's no Santa Claus!!

Maybe some of this has to do with what happened when I was a child or maybe because My Love Languages are Quality Time, Words of Encouragment and Physical Touch.

I am going to be honest with everyone right now July has not been the easiest month for me right now, in fact there's been times I have been struggling!! Type A has been stretched out by God and has been breaking many times during this month and I have at times hated it!! I had to cancel a fundraiser, postphone another one, had plans fall through on me and of the above!!
I recently met my First World Racer on my squad on Thursday Miss Emma Brubaker! She's an awesome sister in Christ and can't wait to meet everyone in October at Training Camp!! Anyway I was sitting at Starbucks with her this week and she said to me, "Blake your personality type is ESFJ Right? I said Yes it is Emma. Emma said to me," So far the things I noticed about you is you like having a schedule and your big on reliablity right?" I said, "Yes I am." I told about a couple of things of what happened to me this month and she said, "Type A has to go."
On The World Race we may have a tentative plans to go the 11 countries but if God has to reroute us and go somewhere different that's His plan not mine!!
When we our on our teams for The World Race being together for almost a year with new people I don't know oh there will be some headbutting at times. We are not going to get along 100 percent of the time!! That's a fact because "We are all sinners and fallen short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23NIV84
Maybe someone tells me they want to get together with me but plans change and we cannot get together for some reason. This will happen again.
What am I going to do about this? 
Am I going to be like Why is this happening to me God and so on and Go have a pity party about things?!
Or Am I going to relax and fully trust in God and say He's got this because He is God!! 

"Give all of your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you." 1 Peter 5:7
When your feeling uneasy about a situation give your situation over to God and not try to fix the situation yourself. One of the reasons why I have some uneasy moments is because I am not giving myself to God first instead I am trying to fix the situation as quickly as I can!! God is the ultimate fixer of all our problems and concerns! He can fix anything!! Trust in Him fully!! 

Quit trying to be in control and give your situation over to God!!

Thank you for your support!! Have a wonderful day!
