Love Assessment: The Hannah Version

Hannah's definitely gives up, easily. Any hint of failure or rejection and she is gone. Hannah tries to care more for others than herself, but sometimes she finds that in her focus on others, she is still being selfish. Hannah almost always wants what she doesn't have. She has bought into the idea that envy is the best motivation and is sad that she cannot rejoice in the amazing things she already has been given. Hannah doesn't strut or have a swelled head unless she thinks she has a right, and then she has a hard time listening to other sides and perspectives. She is learning how to dialogue with others and to go at their pace instead of forcing herself on others, but she still tends to if she is not careful. She doesn't fly off the handle, but she does keep score especially when she feels that she is being wronged. She revels in the downfall of her enemies and wishes she could say "I told you so" too many times. She is learning to love those who are difficult and is trying hard to not gloat when things don't go well for them. Hannah loves truth. She loves watching it grow and make beautiful flowers and change the world around it. She wishes she could figure out how to get more of that in her life even though it is often a painful process. Hannah doesn't always trust God, but she is working on that. She knows that God wants the best, but sometimes her heart doesn't understand why she has to go through so much crap. She tries to look for the best in every situation, but often fails to look for the best in others. She can be very cynical about people in her life, but she realizes that this is not good for her heart. Hannah doesn't look back, today and tomorrow are going to be better than anything in the past. She is excited about what is up ahead.
