S.H.A.P.E

In my awesome characters class, they have this saying in the book where they say God turns us into one SHAPE.
Spiritual Gifts
Heart
Abilities
Personality
Experience
With this, I am just going to cross check myself. Reflect on how I've been doing in this 'shape' so far. With 12 years of living, there should be plenty of things that I've achieved finely.

Spiritual Gifts
To be honest, this one I didn't get. What's exactly a spiritual gift when there are so many more gifts God gave me that I'm not so sure about is 'spiritual' ? Is it something that builds me up in faith? Is it something that makes me closer to God ? Because if it is somewhere between both, there are plenty ways.
I have an inspiring story in myself. Going through life, I didn't find any obstacles. Until one day, God noticed my path. Little did I know, I was slightly in the wrong way. I have amazing friends, I have a blessed family, I have a humble home, I have this awesome school, everything was just as beautiful as it is. Until one day...
This day, God made me realize that among all of the amazing and blessed things and people I'm surrounded and living with, I wasn't as spiritual.
I have to admit, I thought I was spiritual enough. Just enough.
I thought the point was to know God and to be a Christian. Little did I know, it was so much more.
Spiritually lifted, I felt. How He spoke to me, how I heard Him, and how it all worked out. The feeling was unbelievably amazing.
Heart
I need to improve myself on this one. Because basically, I was not the type of girl to be so. well. warm?
What I mean to say is... I share the same basic character with my sister, that's what my mom said. When people act dumb, it used to annoy me. When they actually are dumb, it used to annoy me too. But now, I gladly say I changed. :) Well, obviously it was God who changed me. But still, it's called achievement!
My basic characteristics and/or feelings, I have to admit, is still a part of me; the past.
Abilities
Proud to say it, I feel confident in my abilities :) For artistic and musical talents, it's in my blood. My dad was a painter slash pianist slash saxophonist, so that's one more thing to thank God for.
And for integrity, perseverance, and commitment-making preparations, my mom is always there to make me tougher and tougher everyday...
I can draw fashion. REAL good. I can play the piano. I can make art. I can do choreography, but my face isn't really the 'dancer' face, although to admit, I do enjoy dancing :)
Personality
I wonder what to say about my 'personality'. I'm a bit melancholic, I did a fingerprint test about last year and the results showed that I was 'auditorial'. The first word I thought was : Auditorium. But the psychologist specifically mentioned that it just meant I can learn more from hearing.
I find it easy to find beauty in a lot of things, which is good for me.
There are plenty more actually, but I can't mention them one by one of course.
All I can say is, everything basic about me, is good enough :) THANKYOU GOD!
Experience
Plenty of it. I believe everything that happened to me is just a storing for stories; which means I can someday tell everyone about the amazing and beautiful things God gave me in 12 years of living. And if I give a testimony later in life, then more and more beautiful years will come :)
Plenty to tell whoever-will-listen about how amazing God can be in their lives.
Plenty to experience how awesome my life is.
Plenty to give thanks to God for.
Plenty of everything, and more of more.

HOLD ON TO FAITH. LET GOD SHAPE YOU UP! :D
