Resilience
Her foundation is solidly rooted in the Divine love of God, therefore she is not easily shaken. She is comforted in knowing that when she is faithful and thankful during trials and hardships, that she will safely come out of the storm even more prepared and sharpened for a spiritual promotion.

Fearless
She welcomes the future in all of its unknown mystery. Even if she does feel afraid, she does what she has been called to do anyways. Being bold and courageous in the middle of fear has produced great victories throughout history. She always lets her faith be bigger than her fear.

Vision
She recognizes that her God-given gifts and abilities should not be taken for granted, but rather are quite profitable and for this she continually gives thanks. She joyfully refines her gifts and uses them strategically to inspire good things through them.

Work Ethic
She is not known for laziness; she works diligently. Even when the job seems less than ideal, she always works with a cheerful heart and a constant gratitude for the ability to work and provide. This way, her happiness is not contingent on circumstances alone.

tabula rasa

re·flex
ˈrēˌfleks/
noun
  1. 1.
    an action that is performed as a response to a stimulus and without conscious thought.


Thoughts:

In the realization that we've revealed too much of the precious treasures the King gifted and entrusted to us to guard, and shared them with any wandering adventurer who was curious enough to knock - when we unveil too much of a valuable map that was to remain a secret, only to be shared with the most worthy pursuer, is it a normal reflex to seek change?
Is it normal to want to relocate where the fortress once stood; to seek as many new experiences as you possibly can, in order to regain a sense of personal mystery and untouched identity to guard once again?
Is this a reason why people have urges to cut their hair, make abrupt changes to their appearance or personality? - The reason for a sudden raging desire to improve and create untouched, untampered characteristics that never existed before?
Sometimes I feel moved to destroy the smallest quirks that devise "me" so I can feel like an unused scratch card once again.
But I know that I'm so much more precious than a disposable scratch card.
Help me ease this restlessness.
