Ten

May 11, 2013

Today I’m supposed to “sell” myself in ten words. I really hate selling anything, but I happen to be really good at it for some reason. From top cookie sales in my Girl Scout troop to my time spent as a sales associate at Nordstrom, I have always been really good at getting people to buy {or buy into} things. I think it’s because I hate selling, so I have a helpful, but no pressure attitude that puts people at ease.
Anyway, today I am supposed to talk about myself, which seems lame and arrogant. But then I think about how God has given me a unique personality and specific gifts to use for His glory, so here it goes…
Communicator
Polished
Relational
Encouraging
Inquisitive
Persuasive
Rational
Organized
Busy
Determined
Friends, do you agree? Would you add to or change any of the traits on this list? How would you describe yourself?

    What a great list of traits! Organized always tops my own personal list; I think that my touch of OCD comes in very handy! I would also say I am independent.

    I hope you are having fun linking up with Jenni! I couldn't commit to the month of posting, but am enjoying ready everyone else's posts!

    you should have used loyal. It is one of the things I admire most in You!

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
