The Questions
Okay, there is a set of questions in the application to become an Inquirer that I will be posting, one at a time, with my answer. As I look back on them they are flowery, over-done answers, but how do you answer a question like, "Describe yourself as a person" anyway? Hmmmm? Honestly now. So I may or may not post the answer I would have liked to submit as well.
Questions for Reflection
Reflect on and write responses to the following questions:
1) Describe yourself as a person.
I am a pilgrim. Always seeking, always learning, and trying my best to serve the Kingdom, I continuously discover new things about myself. I make lots of mistakes, but I try to learn from them. Lately I have been enjoying the wisdom that has come through many difficult times, and appreciating the perspective that age has granted.
I am a peacemaker and believe that peace starts right where you are. I try to cultivate peace in all of my relationships. I provide mediation for people in disagreement and seek to resolve conflicts. I have learned that sometimes people will disagree, but that doesn’t mean they can’t get along.
I am a lover of God’s Creation. I truly love others and seek to make the world a better place for them. I want to serve God in everything I do, and I try to let all my actions be ruled by love. I want to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute” as it says in Proverbs 31:8. I also love the earth and seek to protect it through recycling and conservation.
Okay -- pretty flowery. A little embarassing. And I haven't been recycling lately to boot. I guess another way to state it would be:
I'm a disorganized, sometimes depressed, always-cheerful conundrum.
Yup, that pretty much sums it up in a nutshell. Which answer should I have put on my application?
