#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I believe we are not perfect as soon as we all understand that and can forgive ourselves and others we are much happier in our lives through family, work, and friendships.

#2 Gift, Serving (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
The running joke is I can never say ‘No’ this must be my calling as I have always participated in everything and I have felt this is key for being an active adult. I have raised my children to do the same, you must always be involved in your community by volunteering.

#3 Gift, Giving (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have a story to share with this one. In March of 2001 I sat on the couch in the very earlier hours feeling sorry for myself with a 9 month old in my arms sleeping while I was trying to help my 3 year old get his blood sugars back up as my 5 year old son was asleep in his room and my husband was still at work. I wondered why God was doing this to my 3 year old with finger sticks and the chaos from hospital visits and bills pilling up when 5 months prior we were on the perfect path as a family. Then a commercial came on asking for money to help kids fighting cancer and I watched it with the music playing looking at those babies with no hair and their battles and realized how insignificant my problems were. I held my babies tighter that morning and told myself somebody always has it worse, that if I can not give financially I can give something else, the next day I donated my hair. Moving forward I have learned that anything you can give helps, your time, money, friendship, listening ear, donating, just be there that is what God wants from us.

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
