#1 Gift, Serving (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
At 16 I joined a Bible Study put together for homeschoolers. For the next 8 years we went to hundreds of events (Dare to Share, Acquire the Fire, Ichthus, etc) and the majority of those were paid for by our group volunteering at these events. It was during these 8 years of my life that I learned I really loved to serve. Looking back, some of the best memories of those events came from volunteering more than the actual events.

#2 Gift, Giving (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
After coming out of college, I was blessed with no debt and was able to find a good job that allowed me to progress to the great job I have today. I am unsure on what the next step in my life is and that has led me to continue to save and invest what I have so that I will be ready for what God has in store.

#3 Gift, Teaching (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
In karate, Sensei reminds those of us that are blackbelts that he doesn’t teach blackbelts, he teaches teachers. Your personal growth is now tied to all the “whitebelts” he sticks you with. Karate has helped build this in me over the years.

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was “saved” on three separate occasions as a kid, once with my dad, once in Sparks, and once at Bible camp. It wasn’t until I was a teenager and part of a Bible Study that I truly believed and put my faith in Christ.
