Lover... (spirituality test results)

I took this spirituality test (http://www.upperroom.org/methodx/thelife/), and I thought this pretty much nailed it on the head for me! Makes a ton of sense! Here is my result (go figure):


"You are a Lover, a feeling type, whose spirituality comes primarily from the heart or emotions. You value freedom, independence, and spontaneity. Along with your gift of enthusiasm, you show us how to have fun and appreciate beauty. More than any other type, you know how to experience joy. This puts you in a unique position to experience God in the moment, to revel in what is happening around you, and to be in the present tense.

To Lovers, God is a nurturing parent. Prayer for you is often extemporaneous, speaking to God about what is on your heart at the moment. Music moves you deeply; so does heartfelt preaching and worship. You believe that real faith must be shared. Consequently, many Lovers are interested in missions or in spreading the Gospel through the media. You are passionate about holy living.

On the other hand, a Lover's impulsive behavior can get you in trouble. You sometimes focus on satisfying immediate desires to the detriment of investing in longer term needs. You have been known to exude a "holier-than-thou" attitude toward other spiritual types. That does not endear you to us. Guard against thinking that to be right everyone else must share a spiritual experience similar to yours. You also may need permission to acknowledge anger, disappointment, sadness, and doubt, and to allow yourself to be less than ideal."


It's kind of interesting... I've been telling myself, and others, that I'm a broken christian, because I completely am... it's interesting to think that people would see me as "holier-than-thou" but I guess even in admitting, and being OK about that, and being open and honest and excited about working on being "less broken", I guess I can see where others may see me as "holier-than-thou"... I can see it more prevalent in other areas as well...

I've also noticed my enthusiasm and happiness can come off too strong. Some people see it as me being too optimistic because I'm naive, young. Some just want me to be angry because they are (at that moment... I don't think it's bad to be angry sometimes!) I don't know... Something new I've been experiencing... Any thoughts?

Is it a bad thing to think life is beautiful? Now, I could be more realistic and open my narrow eyes to all the bad things in the world, which I do believe I should do more of. But I'm not sure that I shouldn't be happy or excited about the life I've been given...
