You wove me in my mother’s womb

INFP Temperament - Idealist Healer

Introversion
Intuitive
Feeling
Perceiving

E/I differentiates between social styles. Introverts tend to draw energy from private, solitary activities. S/I differentiates between types of focus. Strongly intuitive folks seem more at home in the abstract, conceptual world of ideas. The T/F assesses how people govern themselves and make decisions. Strong Feelers can be more easily swayed by emotions and tend to be more sympathetic. J/P measures how people process information. People high in Perception like to keep their options open, gathering information and looking for opportunities and exploring possibilities.


Ps 139:13-16

For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.

StrengthsFinder

1. Adaptability- "go with the flow"/ "carpe diem"
2. Connectedness- reason and link between everything/ bridge builder
3. Ideation- ideas and connections woven together/ free thinker
4. Strategic- idea arranger/ask "what if"
5. Input- collector of ideas and information

4 of 5 are Thinking Strengths for working smarter (the first is Striving Strength for working harder)

Said another way:
1. enables me to respond willingly to the demands of the moment even if they pull me away from my plans... on some level, I actually look forward to them.
2. Everything happens for a reason or more succintly put: God is sovereign.
3. An idea is a new perspective and I actually receive a jolt of energy whenever a new idea occurs to me.
4. I see patterns in the clutter, questioning the next step and looking around the corner filtering through all the paths.
5. I am inquisitive and collector of facts. I acquire, compile, and file information because perhaps one day it will prove valuable!

Ah, but the joy of the Lord is my strength.

Ps 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him. Ps 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in time of trouble. Ps 59:17 O my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my stronghold, the God who shows me lovingkindness. Ps 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Ps 147:5 Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.
