Full Lectionary Reading from the Blue Book =) Colossians 1:9-23
“12 Giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. 17 Christ himself is before all things, and in Christ all things hold together.”
Hi Friends,
Never in our lifetime have we experienced an Advent like this one. How are you doing at trusting Christ to “hold all things together?”
Christ is the embodiment of the word Faithful. YOU are made in the “Imago Dei”, Image of God. When we are awake and present, we reflect God. When we’re not, we play God. How is the Presence of “Faithfulness” showing up in your life?
Faithfulness is in the driver’s seat for Enneagram personality style SIX. Erica Vinson, Enneagram SIX, is our guest today! Allow her words to open a way for you to see Christ as “Faithful.”
If you are new to the Enneagram, you can learn more here.

Those dominant in Enna-Style SIX embody the faithfulness of God. SIXES, when they are living led by the Holy Spirit personify reliable, hardworking achievements with an inspiring and non-anxious presence. Integrating SIXES can let go of the need for control and accept what is, letting the work of reconciliation calm their HEAD in confrontation and temptation. Sacred trust creates a way for belonging alongside those who have dissimilar views.
Practice the presence of Faithfulness.
- Confess fear and ask for faith
- Let go of the fear that you don’t have enough
- Accept insecurity as part of life
- Recognize that both flight and fight are reactions to fear, and develop new strategies to deal with fear
- Breath Prayer, returning prayer to quiet the mind

Giving thanks for the faithfulness of Christ, over and over…
Clare
