When I took the DISC personality test in College, it told me that my predominant characteristic was "Steady". I think it lied to me.
I was eating lunch with some 4th and 5th grade boys the other day. One of the boys had recently acquired a mood ring which became the object of focus for the duration of lunch. At one point I looked over to witness one boy's experience with the ring. He proceeded to make a series of facial expressions while pausing to see if the color of the ring would change. It didn't. So one of the other boys told him what was wrong.
"No, you have to really be mad or really be sad for it to work."
Without hesitation, the boy with the ring retorted, "Okay, then make me mad."
I laughed at his thought process but it got me thinking about emotions in my own life. They seem to change from one to the next so quickly and easily. What does it mean to have a steadfast heart? A love that is unfading? Only by the grace of a steadfast God can I operate in truth.

Your posts are fun to read, yet meaningful. I enjoyed it, and steadfastness is something we were talking about in class tonight. And you're so right...We're blessed beyond measure when we think about how steadfast God is with us.
those things never work for me. unless the colour brown represents something...?
