This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel as if I have been through a lot of trials in my life, and not been the perfect person throughout my entire life, so it’s easy to show empathy to others during their trying times.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I always want to uplift others. I’ve never much cared for attention or spotlights, I just want everyone to be able to live the best they can and sometimes words and actions of encouragement can aid in that process.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’ve always felt very little tie to worldly possessions. I didn’t have much growing up, so being greedy wasn’t really a huge deal for me or my family. I give to the church, though I need to be giving more, and I always try to be there for others when they need a helping hand, whether it be money, time, labor, etc. I feel like my resources are always going to be okay as long as I am able to help, and that all of it comes back around eventually.

[H]eart

1. I love to talk with others who have the same belief as I do in smaller groups. Big groups and many people have always been intimidating to me.

2. I love to speak with the elderly. I work closely with them at my job. I work in the respiratory therapy dme field that has me at patient houses, nursing homes, and hospitals a lot talking to the elderly and assisting them with new medical equipment.

3. I love to play the guitar. I’m not very good as I have only been playing for a month or two, but a patient gave it to me at work and told me “God told me to give this to you, go and play it for Jesus.” Since that day I have been learning a little almost everyday to one day fulfill that statement I was told.

I love to work with those I can relate to who share similar beliefs. I love talking to non-believers too in a more evangelism type setting to, but I feel like I don’t know enough and won’t have answers to many questions I am asked. If I was able to be on a dream team where I can go to hospitals or nursing homes or patient houses as I do for work, that would be ideal for me as I have experience and am comfortable with speaking and home visits.

Variety

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

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

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
