God smile on you

I just discovered The Message translation's version of The Aaronic Blessing:

God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
    and make you prosper.

A lovely way to end the day... imagining God smiling on me.

May he smile on you too

why smiles are so important to me

One of the areas of growth for me since candidating has been learning more and more about myself - what motivates me, what are my strengths and weaknesses, and so on.

Just recently I started some work on the Enneagram. I have been impressed with the way it has helped me understand more about myself. I have done other typologies in the past, including Myers Briggs. Enneagram has built on that for me.

I received the picture below in an email today, and for me, it describes (partly) how I see the world.
I haven't completed my work on the Enneagram, but I think I'm a type 9. This picture represents how I see the No 9 Peacemaker / Mediator.
I'd love feedback if anyone feels able to affirm or provide an alternative. (epecially if you understand the Enneagram)

... but then, maybe I'm a Type 2 (The Helper)??
This is definitely still a work in progress! But I'm enjoying finding out - maybe that says something about me!


Update:
Looking back on this over 5 years later, it is interesting to reflect on how I saw myself at the that time. These days I see myself as a type 7 'the Enthusiast'.
