You Are an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie On the surface, you're a little plain - but you have many subtle dimensions to your personality. Sometimes you're down to earth and crunchy. Other times, you're sweet and a little gooey. What Kind of Cookie Are You? "A little plain"??? Ahhhh! They obviously haven't met me. Actually, that cookie description describes me better than I'd have guessed from such odd questions that I had to answer to get it...just, instead of "plain", I'd have put "quiet"...though "quiet" can be mis-judged as "plain" sometimes. The one below also goes with me (as my friends will say). I just changed one thing from my answers for the other "cookie" that I wasn't sure about: You Are a Jam Cookie On the outside, you project a straight-laced, innocent vibe. But on the inside, you're complex, exotic, and full of flavor. Sooo...I'm a 2-cookie person. Actually, I would eat a jam cookie before a oatmeal cookie...if I had a choice. So - what did you learn from this? Well...You must look past the outward appearance, at the heart and character of a person. Not that they MEAN to be...but outward "appearances" CAN be deceiving. 1 Samuel 16:7 - But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Physical beauty and "good looks" will fade. Someday, Lord willing, you WILL be 50 and you WILL have wrinkles, sags, and bags...where's beauty then? It is in character and nobility and spirit: 1 Peter 3:4 "But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." Start now - cultivate a spirit full of character and honor: Girls: Fear the Lord (daily devotions/conversations with the King of Kings), Cultivate a Gentle and Quiet Spirit (surely you know the difference between this and a loud, showy spirit), Grow in grace and humility, Be someone that others think and speak highly of. Guys: Fear the Lord (daily devotions/conversations with your Savior), Cultivate good character and honor/chivalry, Grow in humility, and yet, be a strong leader, Be someone that others think and speak highly of. This is just a small beginning of ALL of the things you can grow in. You can evaluate where you are by asking, "People DON'T think and speak highly of me - what could I be doing differently?" And instead of doing the LEAST you can do, start LOOKING for ways that you can bless others - daily! If you aren't sure if something is full of honor or that it would be pleasing to God - ditch it. It is better to run instead of getting as close to the line as we can. Anyhow...I'm done lecturing now. Every now and again I just have a thought, and I just have to keep writing! ~Lady Tai
