I am not sure where this originated but I aspire to live this out in my life!
What Temperament Are You?
What temperament are you? Our ladies’ class is studying Spirit-Controlled Temperament by Tim LaHaye. This has been an interesting study. First, we studied the basic 4 temperaments: Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy, and Phlegmatic. It was very easy to pinpoint which temperament my husband has but not so easy to see mine. If you are curious you can find your temperament by taking the FREE printable test found here: http://59384.inspyred.com/images/Personality%20Temperament%20Test.PDF
So what is my temperament? I am a Choleric – the test describes this temperament as focused; extrovert; goal oriented; the achiever. I found out that my husband and I have the opposite temperaments. Is that a surprise? No! Many people marry opposites.
As we studied further we covered the 12 blends. The blends really helped me to see myself even better. My blend is a Choleric – Sanguine. My husband says it fits me well. I found the description of driving and lawn care habits of each temperament to be fitting and comical. This study has helped me to understand myself better as well as my family and co-workers. For fun and to gain understanding, you might have your teens take this test too! So far we have identified our temperaments. Next, we will study our strengths and weaknesses after that we will study how to have a Spirit controlled temperament. I’ll let you know what I discover!
If you take the test let me know what you find!
I am including a chart I found on Pinterest. I will be happy to give credit if anyone knows who should receive it!
Lawrence and Reda
When I transferred to Freed-Hardeman College January of 1979 one of the first people I met was Lawrence. He was my first date at the school and then he waited a long time to ask me out again! I got to know him through shared classes, devotionals and trying to match make him with several friends and family members. I thought he was such a wonderful guy! I still think so too!
Lawrence and I both shared an interest in mission work and still do! We were part of a group called Campaigns Northwest. In 1980 we traveled to the northwestern part of the United States to work with small churches. These works had been pre-arranged with the churches by Obert and Juanita Henderson. During our preparation meetings, camps, and travel to our locations, we spent a lot of time together. I remember taking a hike in Colorado and realizing he was for me! We were both to work with a small congregation on the Oregon coast. Ranch Road Church of Christ in Reedsport, Oregon. It was during our time serving this church that Mt. Saint Helens erupted in Washington state on May 18, 1980, and Lawrence asked me to marry him! That was 37 years ago! We completed our time with that congregation and went home and got married. And now you know a little more of our story.
