Hello!
Welcome to Week 2 of May on our Temperament Transformation Journey!
Each day this week, we will focus on one of the seven blends represented in our Wisdom Seekers' group. One will be posted daily. Please take note of the heading in case you miss a day, so you can go back and post your response.
I invite everyone to share from the heart and to interact with the reflections of others, which may mean revisiting the blog after you've posted. Let’s make time to encourage one another and grow in understanding together.
We begin by focusing on the 🟢🔵 Phlegmatic/Melancholic blend — a temperament known for its calm presence, deep thoughtfulness, and faithful heart. These sisters often serve quietly and reflect deeply, but may struggle to act boldly when God calls them to step forward.
The Holy Spirit desires to transform their gentle consistency into courageous surrender. As we read, reflect, and pray, let’s ask God to show us how this blend brings beauty to the body of Christ — and how He longs to shape it further for His glory.

🔍 Understanding the 🟢🔵 Phlegmatic/Melancholic Blend
🗣 After reading the following about the 🟢🔵 Phlegmatic/Melancholic blend, share one thing you learned about this blend that you will note.
If this is your blend, share a personal insight you gained.
Strengths:
- Calm, reliable, detail-oriented, gentle-spirited, loyal, and responsible.
Growth Areas:
- Tends to withdraw under pressure, procrastinate, and second-guess decisions.
Why Yielding to the Holy Spirit Is Essential:
- They often stay in their comfort zones and delay action. Yielding helps them move forward in quiet obedience rather than fear or hesitation. It shifts them from passive waiting to Spirit-led courage and allows the Spirit to break through analysis paralysis with peace and direction.
Prayer Focus:
- Pray for boldness to act when God calls, and for clarity and peace when overthinking sets in.
🛐 Please post a short prayer in the blog for the sisters with this blend.
Core Needs:
- 🧡 Stability, reassurance, peaceful environments, and time to reflect before speaking or acting.
What May Hurt or Discourage Them:
- Feeling rushed, overlooked, or misunderstood; harsh correction or emotional pressure; being pushed before they're ready.
How They Handle Stress or Conflict:
- They may retreat, go silent, or avoid confrontation entirely. Internally, they could be overthinking or quietly feeling overwhelmed, even if they appear calm.
How They Typically Express Love or Support:
- By faithfully showing up, quietly serving behind the scenes, offering thoughtful advice, or listening attentively.
What They're Like in Group Settings:
- Often quiet, thoughtful, observant, and cooperative. They may not speak much unless invited, but when they do, their contributions are sincere and well-considered.
Common Misunderstandings About Them:
- People may think they don’t care or are disengaged because they don’t always speak up or show emotions outwardly. In reality, they care deeply and process internally.
Spiritual Strengths They Bring to the Group:
- Discernment, gentle wisdom, loyalty, prayerfulness, and a steady presence that anchors others.
How They Best Receive Encouragement:
- Private encouragement, notes of affirmation, or someone noticing their efforts without making them the centre of attention.
Temperament Traps (What to Watch Out For):
- Passivity, people-pleasing, indecision, over-analysis, emotional withdrawal, and guilt for not doing “enough.”
Transformational Goal:
- ➡️ To move from hesitant self-protection to quiet, Spirit-led boldness — trusting that God can use even their stillness to bring life.
🗣 To wrap up, share one thing you learned about this blend that you will note. If this is your blend, share a personal insight you gained.

ReplyDelete“Never judge a book by its cover.”
Phlegmatic/Melancholic blend is a quiet treasure indeed.
As I read more about this blend, I came across something under “Common Misunderstandings About Them” that stood out:
People may think they don’t care or are disengaged because they don’t speak up much or show strong emotions. But the truth is — they care deeply. They just process things quietly and inwardly.
Coming from a more Choleric temperament (which God is transforming), I used to wonder why my Phleg/Mel sisters took longer to respond. But now I see — their silence isn’t distance, it’s depth. They are listening, thinking, and choosing their words with care.
I now see it as Taking Time To Think (TTTT) — and I’m learning to value that too in my life. Hard to adjust, but getting there.
🕊️ My Prayer for You:
Father, I thank You for my Phleg/Mel sisters — Claudia, Jacintha, Anne - and for the gentle strength and quiet wisdom You’ve placed within them. Help them walk in the boldness You’ve called them to, without being held back by overthinking or fear. Let them hear Your voice clearly and move forward with confidence, knowing their stillness carries power. Amen.
Have a great day everyone.
Amen
DeleteYou are so correct. It's easy to judge others, rather than taking the time to find out more about them. Amen to the prayer

ReplyDeleteGood Morning
Phlegmatic/Melancholic remind me of a quiet strength.
Firstly I would like to Thank these sisters for being our anchors often holding us down, for their faithfulness and loyalty.
I am grateful for reading about this blend as this reminds me to be more patient and to lean on and take time to encourage them.
Sis Anna is my Titus Team and I would say she's really the glue that keeps us together, she's often the one initiating our gatherings and sends encouragement to us. During our conversations she is the one anchoring us and being steadfast in seeing the group through.
My prayer is that they will continue to walk in God's boldness, that they will be set free from any people pleasing and tendencies and that they will feel more empowered to share with others the gifts and talents and thoughts that God has bestowed upon them. Amen
Jazzy, it's amazing the things you find out when others share. So thanks for sharing. Amen to the prayer...

DeleteGood Morning to my fellow Temperament Women.
ReplyDeleteI join the focus today on my sister's of the
Phlegmatic/Melancholic blend:
Thank your for just being yourselves.
I am thankful to have learned about this blend today, it took me straight to this qoute "Staying quiet doesn't mean I have nothing to say, it means I don't think you're ready to hear my thoughts." (Author unknown)
I can see Sis Alanda within this blend and the qualities of being quiet , deep thinking, private, operating behind the scenes, and not being in the forefront, reminds me of a lesson our beloved Pastor Penny had shared some time ago about "God and the fact that He is always working on our behalf, even though we don't see Him in action at times, He is working underground."
Thank you all for working in silent and for thinking things through, and not just rushing to get things over with. Sometimes a deep thoughtful mind is just what we need while we wait on God.
My prayer today is that the person's with this Temperament blend will continue to walk steadfast in the Lord, that they will not be intimidate or distracted by others, but that they will be empowered to use their God given gifts and talents to win like minded souls and build up God kingdom in Jesus name Amen.
Sister Glenda I love this quote. "Staying quiet doesn't mean I have nothing to say, it means I don't think you're ready to hear my thoughts. Amen to the prayer..

DeleteGood Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday to you.
Understanding the Phlegmatic/Melancholic Blend
I have the opportunity to work closely with two of the three, Sisters Claudia and Jacintha. So, reading about what they're like in group settings is very helpful, and it allows me to understand them a bit more.
This is so true, these ladies are often quiet, in meeting, but when they speak, they have so much to offer. They contributions ae valuable, and I appreciate them for that.
Another thing, I’m grateful for these insights regarding these ladies, because many times I/we judge others without even knowing them, which can cause conflict or misunderstand within a group setting.
Thank You for this information.
Prayer
Lord Jesus. I commit my sisters into your hands. I pray that you will give them boldness, especially when they are called upon, as well as standing up and speak out what they know is right no matter the push back. Allow your wisdom to lead them when overthinking try to set in. Father, give my sisters your peace in every situation they’ll encounter.
In Jesus name.
Hello everyone!
ReplyDeleteIt was great reading/learning more about our wonderful Phlegmatic/Melancholic sisters. When we take the time to understand each other, it makes our relationships more productive and fruitful.
Over the years, I can attest that Sis Anna, Sis Jacintha and Sis Claudia express their love and support by "faithfully showing up, quietly serving behind the scenes, offering thoughtful advice, or listening attentively". It makes a lot of sense that these three ladies share this temperament! These three ladies have always been a source of encouragement to me, especially during my education by always making time to check up on me and encourage me along the way- I am so thankful to have them in my life!
Growing up, I spent a lot of time by Sis Anna and Sis Claudia (lol LOYAL babysitters) and I admired how 'calm' they always were - never making a fuss; just calm, cool and collected. Sis Jacintha was always willing to open her home to the young adults, again, without a fuss! I thank God for your temperaments!
My prayer: Lord, thank you for these wonderful women that you have created and the temperaments you have given them. May you help them continually avail themselves to You and boldly surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Remind them that You will always empower and enrich them to do whatever You call them to do. In Jesus name, Amen!
P.S: Happy Birthday Sis. Jacintha!! Thank God for you and your amazing temperament - May God continue to bless you today and always!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Amen
DeleteGood day ladies!
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying this Temperament Transformation Journey and the teachings on the different blends.
Having been around that temperament (Phel/Mal), I’ve learned that this blend thrives in an environment that is peaceful and calm, as well as thoughtful communication. Approaching them with gentleness and patience builds trust and brings out their best. Once you get to know and understand them, they have a lot to offer.
My Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for our thoughtful and quiet Phlegmatic/Melancholic Sisters who often carry their strength in their hearts. Please give them the courage to act when You call them, even when fear or hesitation tries to hold them back. Help them trust Your timing and know You are with them. Let them know that you see them even when they think no one else does. Calm their minds and give them clear direction, helping them trust You to guide them with love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Amen
DeleteThank you, Sisters above, for your thoughtful input. 💖
DeleteI’ve highlighted your posts in the chat so others can see and be encouraged. It’s truly a blessing to learn more about one another. As we do, we’re building stronger, more meaningful relationships rooted in love and understanding. 🌿
Good evening ladies,
ReplyDeleteWhat has stood out to me about this temperament and these wonderful ladies is how they are in group settings. As the above states they are often quiet, thoughtful, observant, and cooperative. They may not speak much unless invited, but when they do, their contributions are sincere and meaningful insight.
I will also add how encouraging these sisters are and my prayer for them is to be strengthen in their inner man and to speak boldly regardless of invitation for their input is much needed! In Jesus name, Amen!
Amen

Take the time to know those in my midst.
Hello everyone.
Sis.Anna Sis.Claudia Sis. Jacintha are three sisters that I had the opportunity to get closer to. However, the time spent with each is different. The more meaningful the interaction, the more I understand. I can see myself in them.
They may be quiet and not speak up boldly in an environment that may not be comfortable and when it is confrontational.
Each one has their quiet strength that they are very effective in.
Prayer
Sis. Anna Sis.Claudia and Sis. Jacintha I thank God for the gifts He placed in you. May you continue to grow in wisdom. May you seek boldness and be obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit, who will enable and strengthen you in time of need.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
Blessings.
Hello beautiful ladies,
ReplyDeleteHope all is well.
Great insights about the phe/Mel blend. Echoing the same sentiment. Knowing these wonderful ladies over the years I can say they are very giving of their time, finance and support to anyone genuinely in need. They are also very understanding individuals.
These ladies are indeed valuable to any group setting. One on one with all three ladies they will give great advise based on situations they have gone through. They may be quiter in group settings but one on one they will share their hearts.
Thank you ladies for your honest input in my life over the years. It is always a pleasure talking to you.
Blessings ❤️
hi ladies, hope everyone had a great day!

ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
Proverbs 9 reading
The verse that stood out to me is Proverbs 9:9
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. (ESV)
Hi Ladies
After carefully reading about the blend of Melancholic/Choleric, it gives me a clear understanding. I have learned quite a few things about this interesting blend.
The one thing that stood out: They seem overly serious or controlling, but deep down, they care deeply and are often their own critics. Ladies, I know now that you do care for others even though you may seem serious or controlling.
Heavenly Father, tonight I pray for Sister Theresa, Sis Glenda and Sis Cindy, that you will help them to be easy on themselves, and not to be their own critic. Lord God, you see the heart that strives so hard to do right, so serious, so strong and yet tired. Remind them, Lord, that their seriousness is not a flaw, but a strength when surrendered to you Soften their heart with joy and fill them with your peace that quiet their soul. Thank you Lord, for my sisters as they continue to work in their temperament, let them know that they are loved by you and the people who understand them. In your mighty name.
Have a peaceful night.
