According to Myers-Briggs I'm an ESTJ (you can look that up if you are curious what that means) but basically I thrive in the orderly rule following ways of life. I know my stuff and can argue for it. Couple that with having Input as one of my top strengths and it is a recipe for arrogance!
I love to collect information and constantly refer to my brain as a filing cabinet. So watch out because everything you say/do gets filed away :) Anywho, I am particularly enthralled with religion, politics, history, you know the least controversial things in life ;)
I've noticed lately and by lately I mean in the past 2 years how arrogant I am when it comes to religion. I've taken my fair share of religion courses at U of A and it seems like the more I take, the cockier I get. When it comes to religion, especially my own, it's almost as if I have a photographic memory. I can get through tests/quizzes/papers without ever studying or reading the book. I don't know why but that's just the way it is.
I am saying all of this to let you know that I am fully aware of this current situation. Arrogance is bad but arrogance in religion? Yikes! God definitely has something to say about that! He has been gently but firmly reminding my heart of my own sinful ways. How arrogance affects the Kingdom and how it affects the ways He will use me in the future. Refinement is so not fun but it is so so beneficial :)
