ENFP.
This is my Meyers Brig personality type and it’s time for me to finally OWN it.
My name is Drea and I’m an extrovert. Im a big picture kinda person not really ever sweating the details. I’m not too keen on organization or plans and I care a lot about what other people are feeling, especially if someone is feeling left out or upset. I love the movie American Gangster and wake up to Gangster Paradise playing on my ipod every morning. If you ask me for directions, I will laugh and tell you that I honestly have no idea which way is North…or South. If it looks like I’m daydreaming, it’s because I am…even the slightest view or noise distracts me and sends me into a whole litter of new thoughts. I enjoy movies that make me laugh for the same reason I love movies that make me cry. I won’t listen to a full song on my playlist, but I will replay certain parts of the song over and over again (which some people find annoying…sorry bout that one haha). I never remember to replace the toilet paper roll and can’t sit still for anything longer than about 45 minutes.
Even though I know these qualities about myself, I feel like i’ve never truly let myself just be me. I’ve become very good at picking up the cues of what others perceive my personality as and then forming my actions and words around how they envision me acting. However; since I’ve been accepted on The World Race I’ve felt a gradual relief being lifted off my shoulders…then at training camp I was completely set free. I finally saw that God made me who I am for a reason and he gave me this personality and these qualities because that’s how he chose to make me his unique daughter. I’ll be honest… this realization was HUGE for me….why? well….
I don’t have to feel guilty about laughing too much or getting too excited…..
because HE gave me a joyful soul.
I don’t have to apologize for wanting to live a nomadic lifestyle….. because HE gave me a missions minded heart.
I don’t have to hold back in worship…..
because HE gave me a voice that desires to belt it out
I don’t have to be afraid of being abandoned….
because HE has demonstrated an unfailing love.
I don’t have to worry about the future…
because HE has shown me the beauty of being content with trusting in him and him alone!
My incredible heavenly father has taught me how to live with purpose, how to laugh without hesitation and how to love without boundaries…and whenever I find myself holding back because of the fear of disappointing others or not feeling like I deserve the blessings he has bestowed upon me, I hear his still small voice calling me back to him saying
“you are enough and I will chose you again and again to be my daughter”.
