…I remember one of the scariest things I have ever been through. One day at my job as a Kindergarten teacher, my vision suddenly was impaired. I could see but my vision had changed in a big way. I was so overwrought with the “what if’s worst case scenarios” I could think of. Later that week, I remember sitting in front of an eye specialist and he looked at me and said, “You need to relax.” Easier said then done, in the life of a Six. My eyes were good, it was a common thing, hormones played into it and it was going to be okay. The sin that easily besets was kicking in, and all I could think about was myself. I was no longer focusing on Jesus and allowing his peace to come and dwell with me.
I’m grateful for what the Enneagram has taught me looking at it through a gospel lens knowing that ONLY Jesus can make me secure, that I’m never alone, that He is trustworthy and I can trust Him. Praise Him.
