Would You Say that You Enjoy Driving?

Yes, I must admit that I thoroughly enjoy driving; however, I do not have the cleanest record when it comes to being behind the steering wheel ;) Anyone that knows anything about me knows that the only times I have gotten myself into legal trouble has been while driving. I guess it is a good thing I no longer have a personal vehicle :)

If You Could Know What Happens in the Future, Would You?

I do not enjoy surprises, so I would definitely choose to know what happens in my future. I cannot even watch a movie with a friend without asking them what is gonna happen (whether or not they have seen the movie, I still ask).

I have a huge flaw of not being able to trust people, but I am extremely working on trusting God with my future. Keeping that in mind, I know that he is providing me with a prosperous future, not disaster (Jeremiah 29:11), so I guess I should choose not to know my future because I know that it is going to be good; however, that little curious part of me cannot help but saying "Absolutely!!!, I wanna know what happens!!!"

Who or What Stresses You Out the Most?

I am definitely the person that brings the most stress into my life. I often get mistaken as someone who does not listen, but I assure you, I am a great listener...just not a good rememberer, so please do not stress me out by accusing me of not listening.

Furthermore, I have a very impulsive personality, which often causes me to react to situations with no regard whatsoever as to how it will affect myself or others around me; this has led to some serious consequences within my life.

Some people might think it best for me to be put on anxiety medicine or ADD medicine, but not I. I refuse the further usage of substances within my life...Lord knows I have used plenty of them already ;)

My Top 5 Strengths

1) Forgiveness and Mercy: I consistently forgive others for the wrongs that they have done; I accept the shortcomings of others; I give people a second chance. Many times, I give them a third and fourth chance as well. I am not vengeful.

2) Open-minded: I try to think things through and examine situations from all sides and weigh all the evidence fairly; however, this does not mean I always make the best choices.

3) Social Intelligence: I try to be aware of the motives and feelings of other people, as well as myself.

4) Hope: This is my greatest strength. Through my God I can find hope in any situation.

5) Spirituality: I have coherent beliefs about my God, my higher purpose, the meaning of life, and the meaning of the universe. I accept that I have been chosen to be a child of God and I do my best to reach my heavenly calling.

At What Point in Life Did I Start Feeling Like an Adult?

Umm, well I must admit that in many areas of my life I still do not feel like an adult. One would think that as many times as I have been to Hell and back I would officially feel like an adult, but unfortunately I do not.

I have made so many regretful choices in life that have hindered my capability to act as old as I actually am; however, the one adult-like characteristic I have developed is to continue pressing on in life no matter what my circumstances may be, and I can assure you, my circumstances have varied greatly. At some points in my life I lived as if I was rockstar, while others I actually lived in a homeless shelter.

So, out of curiosity, I wonder if I will ever feel like an adult. I sure hope so. This whole living like a kid thing is gettin real old. Hell, I am raising a kid myself, so I know some definite maturity is needed. With God's help, I am confident feeling like an adult is right around the corner. Cheers to me!!!
