A Month of Natalie - Strengths


Describe 5 strengths you have.

I am a planner. God has gifted me with the ability to plan things out and then see them through. I think this has a lot to do with why I love writing the boys homeschool curriculum. It is a blast to conceptualize, to talk to the boys about what they want to learn about, to write it, and then to teach it and watch them learn and absorb.

I am a nurturer. I love taking care of people, especially little ones. I love love love playing and cuddling with babies. I like to do little sweet things for other people and to surprise someone with a token of how I feel about them is one of my favorite things in the world to do.

I have the ability to empathize with people. I can almost always put myself in someone else’s shoes. I won’t say that I have never been judgmental, but I think I am pretty good at being able to see things from other’s points of view, for being able to emotionally be there for someone when they are going through a rough time, and for loving people for who they are and where they are.

I am devoted. I am unconditionally devoted to my God, my husband, and my children. Those things in life are not temporal. My heart is fixed on Jesus, Brandon, Ezra, and Elisha. While my relationships with other family members may wax and wane, (sometimes I have to set healthy boundaries) my love for them certainly doesn’t.

I have pretty good discernment. I can usually tell if someone is genuine or if someone is just acting. I can often pinpoint emotions and reasons behind others’ decisions and actions even if they can’t. I am not very often fooled by people. Most times, it isn’t difficult for me to figure out what is going on in someone’s head.
