#2 Gift, Evangelism (100%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God has given me a spirit of compassion. Has a woman who has been taken advantage of and taken advantage of other while neglecting myself in the process, I am very well aware of being able to listen to others and share my testimony to spread how good God is and how good He has been.

#3 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (100%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have been through a lot in my short life and I have been through the unthinkable life experiences of domestic violence, loss of a parent, bullying, mental illness, homelessness, teen parenthood, loss of employment, eviction, unfaithfulness and heartache, yet still I rise and persevere giving all the praise and glory to God through my testimony. Because I have gone through and have seen the abundance of overflow, I am able to encourage others into their victorious journey.

[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I love to spend time with my 3 wonderful children and Glam-daughter by designating “Mommy & Me” time with each of them once a month.

2. I love to travel and plan on knocking 3 “bucket list” international travel ‘cations off my list within 5 years.

3. I love to train, teach/facilitate and coordinate events.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I love to work with any age group of people that are willing to improve on their financial success, their emotional well-being, their financial fitness, as well as their physical being. I love to grow from their successes, as well as learn from their setbacks.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

What concerns me the most regarding our church is that one of our goals is to grow our body of Christ through inviting people and connect groups; however, we are missing the mark by not taking a temperature check about how many 1st time visitors that come to our services. We don’t consistently acknowledge them nor do we give them a “welcome” gift.

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
