I’d never want to be someone who is callous or uncaring. To be self-centered or mean-hearted. I want to be someone that cares about others and can be encouraging when they need it.

I think when you know Christ and have Him in your heart, you can’t help but be the opposite of those first four I mentioned. I naturally want to help people who need encouragement. When someone is down, help pick them up somehow.

If I’m in a story and see something that’s perfect for someone, I’ll pick it up and give it them as a just because present.

I don’t want to be nasty in anything I do. I don’t want to be impatient but patience is definitely not my virtue. This is an area I struggle in. I catch myself all too often being impatient with either people or something I’m doing. I can easily yell or even toss something across the room. Now is that very mature? No and I have to laugh at myself when I look back and see those times I’ve done it. But I think we all have our own little areas where we struggle. I’ll catch myself and try to real in the frustration. But it is hard. Someday that day might come, I’m just not sure when.
