    Temperament Transformation Journey
    July 13th
    Group Reflection

    🌺 The past 5 days has been very liberating for me , the questions that was asked all allowed me to search myself and look for areas of growth, coming to the realization that with everything there is a process .. One of the questions that really had me was
    🌺 What reassures you when you feel stuck in your growth? And I believe I responded with looking back as to how far I have come, the Holy Spirit has been a constant conviction, pulling and thugging me , refining me and Shaping me and all I can say is thank you lord .

    Even when you don’t feel it, God is still forming something in you.” – Jennie Allen
    This particular quote brought me to this scripture, Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up, and it’s important to me that I do not give up , because God truly rewards the righteous in his perfect timing , 3 questions I have been asking myself
    - [ ] Do I really have a hunger for God
    - [ ] How is my prayer life
    - [ ] And if I was to loose everything today would I still love God ..
    those are soul searching questions for me , but you can also ask yourself. The more I live is the more I want more of God , I want to pray in season out of season in good times and in bad times and this is not all me to get , but because of the love I have for God and what he did for me on that cross ..
    🌺 • My transformation is not measured by flawlessness but by faithfulness.
    I choose this affirmation because I would continue to be faithful.

    Sister Gale again I want to thank you for taking the time out to give all of yourself , the way you have created this platform so us ladies can benefit in the way we allow God to change us ..
    Thanks again πŸ’

    It’s Sunday ladies

    1. Sister Alanda, thank you for sharing. Those three questions really made me pause and reflect—especially this one: "If I were to lose everything today, would I still love God?"
      Such a powerful and sobering question. Definitely one to ponder deeply.

      Keep on growing, my sister. Your growth is evident, and others are taking note. ❤️

  2. Good Morning Sister
    Temperament Transformation Journey
    Proverbs 13

    I will have to say it’s this question, “What’s your greatest challenge in staying spiritually anchored?”

    As I reflect on my Christian journey, one of the greatest challenges I’ve faced has been living a disciplined life. For the longest time, I couldn't understand why discipline felt like such a struggle for me—especially in areas that I knew mattered.

    Recently, I had a heartfelt conversation with one of my daughters. I found myself opening up about the specific areas in my life where I lack discipline. It was in that vulnerable moment that I realized how much I desired to grow, but I didn’t always know how.

    Now, as I walk through this process of transformation, the Holy Spirit is gently shining light on those exact areas—revealing where He wants to bring change. One morning during prayer, I sensed the Lord speak so clearly:
    “Debbie, focus on one thing at a time. Don’t try to master everything all at once.”

    That word gave me peace. It reminded me that God is not rushing me. He's walking with me.

    Another challenge I continue to face is simply being still—quieting my thoughts, letting go of distractions, and allowing God to fill my mind and heart. It’s not easy. My mind often races. But I'm learning. And while I’m still a work in progress, I find myself sitting still more often—resting in His presence and letting Him do the work only He can do.

    Thank you Sister Penny for taking us on this train ride. It’s bumpy at times, but I like the ride. πŸ™‚

    1. One more thing, this morning, this is the scripture the Lord had me meditate on ❤ ️So I know, being still is big on His list.

      Be still in the presence of the Lord,
      and wait patiently for him to act.
      Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
      or fret about their wicked schemes. Psalms 37:7

    2. Sister Debbie I always like hearing when you speak about your kids it shows the closeness you have with them and how God is working with you through them , it’s important that we sit still with God and as you rightly said rest in his presence , I find we get better results like that , just stop and listen for a moment . Continue in your journey with the lord . Have a great day

    Temperament Transformation Journey

    The last five days have really had me looking inward—reflecting on where I am and how this journey is truly transforming my life. The questions, quotes, and affirmations have each given me something meaningful to pause and think about.

    But the verse that stopped me in my tracks came from Day Eleven:

    Hebrews 12:1b–2a (NET)
    "…let us run with endurance the race set out for us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith."

    How it moved me:
    This verse hit me in a real place.
    It reminded me that this life—this very season I’m walking through—isn’t random. Some days, I feel like I’m limping. Other days, I feel like I’m just running in circles. But this verse helped me realize that “God sees my path.” He designed it. And He’s not surprised by how slow or messy my steps feel.

    What moved me most was the reminder that my job isn’t to finish fast or flawlessly—my job is to “endure” and to “look to Jesus.”
    Not at my own pace. Not at what others are doing.
    Just… Jesus.

    How it challenged me:
    It made me stop and ask, “Where have my eyes been lately?”
    And honestly? They’ve often been fixed on the wrong things—my fears, my expectations, or where I think I should be by now.

    But this verse gently pulled me back and whispered:
    “Look up. Fix your eyes on Me. You were never meant to carry this alone.”

    It also challenged how I view discomfort. I often want to escape the hard things quickly, but this verse reminded me:
    “Faith is built through endurance.”
    Sometimes the “stretching” is exactly where the “saving” happens.

    How it comforted me:
    There was so much comfort in remembering that Jesus is both the pioneer and perfecter of my faith.
    He’s the one who started this journey in me, and He’s not expecting me to finish it on my own.

    When I feel behind or not good enough, I hear Him say:
    “You’re still in the race. You’re not disqualified. You’re not forgotten. I’m not done with you.

    And that truth? It brings me peace.
    I don’t have to manufacture strength.
    I can draw from His.

    How it changed me:
    This verse has shifted how I approach both my days and my life.
    I didn’t wake up today with everything figured out. But I did wake up with one clear goal:
    Fix my eyes on Jesus.

    Not on my to-do list.
    Not on who’s ahead of me.
    Not on my insecurities.
    Just Him.

    And honestly?
    That’s enough.


    Wonderful day all!

  4. Temperament Transformation Journey

    MELANCHOLIC – The Thoughtful Refiner
    Group Reflection

    As I reflect on this Temperament Transformational Journey over the past 5 days, I can safely summarize my experience as being transported through a time capsule. The feeling of not being pressured or frustrated about getting things done right or thinking about what I should have done better, is that of liberation of my mind, soul and physical body.

    How did this journey challenge, comfort, or change me:

    Being a deep thinker, and one who thrive for perfection, are traits and habbits that are natural or common, however, through Gods grace and love for me, I saw the need for these traits to be tamed and tempered. Evidently, I am truly grateful for the teaching and leading of the Holy Spirit, He was my comforter throughout this process and the type of change I experienced was the ability to slow down and pause, leaving everything in the hands of my saviour, being reassured that surrendering my will, and not always getting things right is ok.

    Who I was and what I am slowly becoming;

    I struggled with the urge to complain about things that are not pleasing, or even to speak up because I am right, but as I intentionally remain silent, trusting God in my situation, I have come to realize that being silent does not mean that nothing is happening. I saw first hand, my God in action, and He came through for me during my silence. It was mind blowing and nothing short of a "WOW" moment.

    My husband the quiet one, was now complaining that I am not talking and that I am too quiet. The children also began to show concern also. (Still I will trust you Lord!!)


    The question that made me pause;
    • What grace-filled habit are you choosing over perfectionism?


    The quote that gave language to my silent struggle;
    • Perfection is not the goal—progress with grace is.” – Lysa TerKeurst

    The affirmation that breathed hope into my heart;
    • I’m learning to grow gently, not anxiously.


    The scripture that the Holy Spirit used to stir something deep within;
    • "Let us run with endurance the race set out for us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.” — Hebrews 12:1b–2a, NET


    Have a blessed evening Ladies!!

    Hello Fellow Wisdom Seekers,

    What a week! Intense, revealing, and truly transformative.

    The affirmation that stayed with me the most was this:
    "I am strong enough to be honest about my weaknesses."
    That hit home.

    While preparing the Bible study and reflecting on the different temperament weaknesses, I was reminded again that we are all flawed—and that’s exactly why we need a Savior. That’s why God sent His Son. As Pastor Penny often says, we don’t have weaknesses—we have growth areas. And admitting them is actually a strength. It’s the first step to transformation.

    So many things I once brushed off, the Holy Spirit gently began to highlight. And with His help, I surrendered. Now, don’t get me wrong—surrendering isn’t always easy. But I kept picturing myself as clay in the Potter’s hands. Who am I to try and shape my own life? That’s not my job—it’s His. Only God can do the shaping. My part is to stay moldable.

    And wow—what a difference that perspective made. It was a powerful week.

    One more thing that stood out to me was this quote from Christine Caine:
    “You don’t have to control everything. God already has a plan.”
    That jumped off the page for me.

    This past week, I leaned into that truth. I asked hard questions in prayer and watched God answer—sometimes just by reminding me to step back. It’s not always easy, but it is always worth it.

    Every reflection prompt made me think more deeply. As I journaled my responses, I could feel the shift happening—something inside me was changing. I thank God for that. For opening my understanding. For pouring out His wisdom.

    Reading through everyone’s answers encouraged me too. Especially those who took the time to expand and share deeply. Your honesty and insight lifted my heart.

    I pray you all had a beautiful day of worship today. Let’s stay committed, stay the course, and keep encouraging each other along the way.

      I truly appreciate this forum you’ve created where we, as women, can be open and transparent. It’s such a blessing to have a space like this.

      What you shared, “You don’t have to control everything. God already has a plan” really jumped out at me. That spoke directly to my heart. With my secondary temperament being Choleric, I can definitely relate to the tendency to want to control things.

      Thank you for sharing so openly. Like Ruth, allow me to glean in your field. πŸŒΎπŸ’›

    I have enjoyed going through this week, I do enjoy learning about myself and growing. Even though I think I know myself,the Holy Spirit keeps opening up my eyes more and more through this assignment.

    One of the awe-defining moment was reflecting on the quote by Sophia Bush- You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress - this was so freeing, I can adopt an all or nothing personality so when I hon in on a mistake or character flaw I tend to dwell on it but this reminded me that it's OKAY - we are all growing and this one thing doesn't mean I am a bad person - that the two can co-exist- celebrating who God made me to be - his masterpiece and also tending my growth points -a work in progress

    This weekend was particularly very testing for me
    Friday, something happened at work that I wasn't pleased with and frankly hurt by and I had a mini spiral (in my head)- Holy Spirit reminded me to just speak up lol so I did and released it. Sometimes I feel like something powerful has been released within me ( everyone is going to get it) but gosh it feels so much better to release than to hold and let it consume my thoughts, my heart and my mind.

    Saturday - someone approached me with information that I am still on the fence about and I immediately held a pity party of asking God why me and I felt the strength that I built up the last few weeks diminished and actually felt myself retreating inside but then God reminded me of this part of my Temperament and that he revealed this information to me to fight not to retreat, it felt all coming together for me and while I am still fighting the urge to retreat it was a wonderful reminder of my Temperament transformation this far and how God was able to bridge the two together.

    Sunday- I feel like I made a blunder - tbh I was already in a weird space - behaving in a particular way with someone when I could have chosen to be spirit led and I did that thing again where I replayed the scenario over and over in my mind LOL- and then the Holy Spirit just brought back this quote to me- You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress so while the Holy Spirit and I work on the sting of releasing this mistake ,I rest in God's grace and I pray I do not allow that to hinder my growth - but hey a few months ago I wouldn't even be remotely close to recognizing these things so I am so very thankful for this. blog and sis Penny and this assignment.

      Hi Sister Jesmyn,
      I can identify with you , when it seems like you are making progress, you are growing, bam! Something or someone comes and troubles your spirit. And there we go again down that rabbit hole, bottling up everything and replaying it over and over. Thank be to God that He does not give up on us, and so you must not give up on yourself keep striving, one day at a time, stay alert.

  10. Good morning everyone

    Sanguine/choleric

    My joy is deeper than emotions. It is grounded in God
    Why I choose this affirmation because it gives me comfort.

    Explain
    The joy of the lord is my strength, it is not emotion.
    My true joy comes from knowing and known by Christ.
    The joy that I have the world cannot give it to me, the world cannot have it and the world cannot take it away.
    My joy is rooted in God's presents. His promises and unchanging char after. Finally my joy comes from seeking him earnestly and embracing his love.
    I love you lord you are so true to me.

    Have a bless day every one.
    Peace
    Love you ladies

    Day 13 one of the thing that move me is the question on day 10
    What can you surrender that's hindering your peace?
    The word surrender has been registering in my siprit all along .Iwas struggling with perfectionism but i learnt that perfection is not the goal grace is ,so i had to realease perfection and recieve grace along this journey i got lots of pruning God was just cutting of the excess it was very painful but i had to endure it because i realize that it was for my good so that i could bear more fruit.

    Hello ladies,

    ✨✨✨✨
    Sanguine Weekly Questions:
    What’s your greatest challenge in staying spiritually anchored?

    Phlegmatic Question:
    What’s the most challenging part of engaging deeply in your transformation journey?

    ✨✨✨✨✨Wow, this week has been a tough one for me.The Holy Spirit has been pulling back the deep layers of myself that I didn’t even know was there and it hasn’t been pretty. It’s like my world that was once full of all rainbows and butterflies now shows how the truth and I don’t like it.

    The Lord has showed me that I can’t be perfect and the ‘perfect’ version of myself that I’ve been trying to achieve is futile because it isn’t even real. And the funny thing is, this ‘perfect’ version of myself i was looking to wasn’t my temperament. And on top of that, I can’t do it all! I would read the Proverbs 31 woman and think she would do all those things in one day… it’s in different seasons!

    And with Sundays message, it was helpful and encouraging to hear that everyday is a new day, and to start small, but keep going. One thing about myself is I would find myself wanting to restart my progress if I missed a day of reading (example: if I was reading a book and a few weeks/ months went by I would want to restart the book, not pick up where I left off). Having that restart mindset has hindered me and made me want to give up altogether.

    So, the most challenging part of engaging deeply in my transformation journey and staying spiritually anchored is wanting to run away when I see multiple things I don’t like that is and has shattered my unrealistic view of myself. The Holy Spirit has been showing me I’ve been living in la la land for too long and I’m thankful that throughout this journey in being rooted that it will include the mandatory pruning and plucking of some weeds.

    A depiction I have of this is a young sunflower plant trying to thrive inside the house, now God has taken me outside the house and placed me in the garden. Being in the garden there will be weeds but thanks be to God that He’s been plucking the weeds out and making sure I stand tall but I have to make sure I follow the direction of the Son in order to grow properly (Heliotropism).

    These 2 quotes have helped me:

    “Joy is not the absence of struggle, but the presence of God.” – Margaret Feinberg

    “Transformation is not fast—but it is faithful.” – Lisa Bevere

    Heliotropism:
    Young sunflowers exhibit a behavior called heliotropism, where they turn their heads to follow the sun's movement across the sky from east to west. This movement helps them maximize sunlight exposure for photosynthesis and warmth, especially during their early growth stages.

  14. Thanks so much for sharing, Sister Cassie. 🌻
    Heliotropism—what a beautiful reminder! Spiritually, we need that same posture in our lives—constantly turning toward the Son and moving with Him.

    We’re all in process, so be encouraged. Transformation doesn’t happen overnight. Just take it one day at a time. His mercies really are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23). πŸ™ Keep leaning in—He's doing something good in you!

    Temperament Transformation Journey
    Phlegmatic:
    Going over the five questions that was ask, the one that stood out the most is:

    What has helped you to keep going, even slowly?

    Knowing that God is the one that is leading, and sees the heart Learning about the different Temperaments their strength ane weakness, it has open my eyes to so many things. I love this quote: “Transformation is not fast- but it is faithful.” Lisa Bevere.

    Transformation is not something you rush, instead it's a daily putting off, of things and putting on, ,taking it one step at a time.Affirmation : I am being transformed, even in stillness. I am faithful in the little things, and that matters to God.

    Taking small steps is helping me to grow, I know before when a situation did arise, the normal thing for me was to walk away and shut up to avoid conflict, depending on what it is. Now my prayer is asking god for boldness to speak up, I notice a change in this area of my life.Thank God for the small changes.

    Thank you Sister Penny for creating the space where we can feel confidence to share and encourage one another.

    Have a good night.

    Thank you Ladies for your encouragement.

    Melancholic weekly Questions
    As transformation is about progress, I accept the steady pace instead of perfection. allows me to surrender whatever may come my way to hinder my peace.
    In some cases, the first response will be disturbing. However, it will not be too long before coming to the realization of what I am up against and giving the Holy Spirit total control.
    Quote " Peace is not the absence of problems, but the presence of surrender. " - Unknown is a great reminder.
    Affirmation
    I lay down perfection and pick up peace.
    I may not reach a place of perfection on this side , however, I can accept the Spirit-led Peace.
    Total surrender daily is necessary for transformation.

    Phlegmatic
    It is enlightening to journey , by choosing to believe I don't need to be perfect to be progressing. Without that realization I may think that my steps do not count .
    As the quote says

    " Steady steps carry you farther than short. " Holley 2
    Affirmation
    I am faithful in the little and that matters to God.
    Blessings
