God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.

Life is about changes and learning to enjoy the adventure of journeying in life with Him. I can't see what's ahead and have no way of controlling how things will go. I can only trust Him, that He makes all things beautiful in its time.

Getting to know me

This is the result from a Job Personality Profile Test that I took. Gives a little insight about the kind of person I am. I agree with some parts but not so sure about others. That's alright because these test results are never determinative but merely descriptive. It's not meant to be used as a label and definitely not as an excuse for a pattern of behaviour, especially if it is a misbehaviour!

It's fun. Have a go at it yourself. Would be thrilled if you care to share the results with me.
