Enneagram Personality Type as expressed by: Judy Garland (Enneagram Type 4)

How does God speak to you?: God speaks to me through the senses - the sight of my daughter's smiling face, the sound of my husband's voice, the smell of fresh-brewed coffee, the taste of a home-cooked meal, hugging someone I love... All blessings of which I am undeserving, but God is gracious to give.
