This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God is a God of second chances and Christ is more interested in us being compassionate, having a heart of flesh towards Him and others

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

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

[E]xperience

During my teens during my Girls’ Brigade days – a Christian organisation . I was a troubled with tensions at home , lacking confidence and so sought Christ

Church Choir in my teens, discipled my classmates

Served in the kids’ ministry, single parenting ministry, in cell group assisting

praying for others- called upon often , went for mission trips

God extending my dad’s life that he had the time to accept Christ despite his strong Chinese piety to ancestor worship

Becoming a mum , taught me lots – more dimensions added in that I appreciate the heart of God as the Father , could relate better with my mum, knows the challenges of single- parenting

My travels as God opened doors – expanded my horizons and I saw He had been faithful as He leads me to “minister” and in turn be ministered

My divorce . I could relate with others’ pain from betrayal and abuse

My strict upbringing from a narcissistic and perfectionistic mum. Taught me how to seek God for healing and deal with issues of false guilt, control and condemnation and learn to let go

Trauma from friends suffering from disorders taught and made me realise how I must not have atlas syndrome , forming unhealthy co-dependent relationships but to be firm and encourage them to seek the right channels of help .
