This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy encouraging the weak with words I learn from god and Christ.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
To tell an unbeliever that there is more to life then being chained down by the guiltiness, shame, hurt. By letting God use me to tell them that God loves them no matter the sin they have committed. Brings a sense of accomplishment to me.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Showing others mercy who are guilty of many sins. That wouldn’t be acceptable in today’s day. Really gets to my heart because many things were done to me. That weren’t acceptable but I pray often that those people find Christ. If I’m able to help guide them no matter the pain they cause me or someone else I will. Because they don’t know what they do. Like Christ said before getting crucified.

[H]eart

1. Being with friends either new or old. I love feeling that connection of being with others.

2. Cooking for the people I love or anyone. It’s a way I showing love. Or bringing coffee, cookies, or and invite to lunch. Inviting people often to the gym. Or simply walk.

3. Playing with my daughter and watching her grow and learn. It brings so much joy to my heart.

I like to work with older people and younger people I don’t have a preference. I love working with people who are enthusiastic, and cheerful.

Recently I’ve heard that my church needs more teachers. For the youth. So that’s one.
Another one is help build the church and bring more people to live with us. To encourage others that church is more then just being present one Sunday but being in a congregation means living together. And experiencing life like God intended through the spirit.

Marriage/family issues
Abuse/violence
At-risk children

[A]bilities

Right know I dedicate a lot of time to my studies to become a respiratory therapist.

Retail, warehouse.

I like to organize, talk to people. I can lead groups of people well.

I have taught many people how to work at amazon which is my job. Very successful at doing that. I also used to teach elementary school kids when I was younger for two years.

Empathy I really feel for people when they are going through rough times I’m always there to listen and if advice is needed I will ask the spirit to guide my words that are spoken. Especially people who feel like they have no motivation for living.

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

[E]xperience

Reason why I became a Christian is because even when I didn’t know it. I felt like God was going to give me a purpose. I felt like I didn’t have a purpose here on earth I was so numb to everything. Until little hints that God had left for me through a couple of people. Which lead me to finding God. My life is completely different from when I wasn’t a believer I have different needs and wants.

Choosing to go to a different church

Willing to meet new people and listen very carefully. Getting out of my comfort zone.
