#1 Gift, Serving (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I don’t mind helping out wherever someone may need me. I kinda like just being in the background because you close and personal makes me awkward.

#2 Gift, Evangelism (56%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’m not real sure about this one. I’m not a teacher or much of a leader by any means, but I don’t mind sharing my faith or testimony. To be honest, one on one with a person is where I’m most comfortable to talk. I don’t like large group settings that much because I get awkward or just emotional when I’m talking and I don’t like that. I do hair and honestly behind the chair is probably where I’m most comfortable talking and sharing with clients. Hopefully this makes sense.

#3 Gift, Giving (53%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I like being able to help others, especially the less fortunate.

[H]eart

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

1. I love kids! I’m not all silly or super playful and so sometimes I wonder if it’s really where I should serve, but I really do enjoy helping with the younger kids. I enjoy watching them learn and love their little personalities.

2. I love having my alone time reading my Bible or doing devotion. I don’t get to do it as long as I like, but it’s something I do every morning and look forward to.

3. Spending time with my husband and kids

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

Kids and lower elementary age

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

My only concern with church that I can see is that you have helpers who never seem to get to make it into church, but every so often. I’ve always wondered how are they getting fed? I know they probably read their Bible, pray and may have other groups or whatever, but If your a leader and especially a leader to young people or kids then you should be sure your fed. I guess it just goes back to needing more volunteers to free up the workers, so they can make it into church a little more often.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

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
