#3 Gift, Giving (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I run my own business and I really want to make enough money so that I can just start giving it away…I know that sounds crazy, but I once had someone just send me money for a struggle I was having and I so want to just do the same thing. Years before this happened I watched my boss call a university and pay the tuition for a waitress who had just served us lunch. He asked her how much longer her shift was she said a few hours and then she had class, somehow she mentioned she’d be taking a semester off to earn more for tuition and he just though, I can pay that and he did. I can only imagine what she thought when she figured out the bill had been paid. I have always thought this was way cool and I would so love to just do stuff like that. Help the community, reach out, no strings, no expectations, just to throw something out into the world and see what happens…

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline
