Creative Arts Gathering

Good thoughts from speaker Paul Black:
"Your destiny is not wrapped up in your talent - it's wrapped up in your character"

Paul gave lots of great pieces of wisdom today refering to character.

Character:
to be a person of character you must be
1. a loving person
2. humble
3. a servant
4. holy

Your character is tested when:
- we're asked to play a more behind the scene role than we're used to
- when someone gives us a contstructive critisim
- when our feelings get hurt
- when our expectations are not met (perfectionism)
- when we're tempted to sin
- when we're tired but someone asks us to give more of our time

I felt like he was talking to me - this week has been a character testing one for sure. I'm trying to remember though to be the kind of person who has blameless character not for myself but for the glory of God. I encourage you on to the same!
