This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Now this gift, I feel I do not have it as much as this says. Please don’t get me wrong I love being able to tell people about Jesus and what I believe. But talking in front of a whole crowd of people about it, I would faint! I am still learning how to be a better disciple for Jesus to be able to communicate better to people about him, that’s why I feel i don’t have it to the extent it says.

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.

[E]xperience

Me and my brother actually both gave our lives to Jesus on the same day and because of the same thing. Me and my siblings were all homeschooled, and my mom was reading our science lesson about the heart. And since this was a Christian book it started talking about our heart in a spiritual sense. It said how we were all sinners, but that God loved us so much that he sent his son into the world to die on the cross for our sins. And if we repent of our sins and believe in God and what he did for us, we would be children of God, and get to be in heaven with him someday. The opposite of all of this obviously being that if we didn’t repent of our sins we would be going to hell. At this point I was being raised in a Christian home and I knew who God was. But after hearing what Mommy had read from the science lesson it was like a slap in the face for me! I had never understood so clearly what God had done for me. The whole thing really touched my heart and after it was on my mind the rest of the day, that night me and my brother both prayed that Jesus would come into our hearts and be our savior and Lord of our life. I was 11 years old.

7 years volunteering at TiAnViCa Riding Academy (A Christian ministry that uses horses to aid special need children in developing their muscles) In Bartow, Florida as a horse leader, side-walker, and barn worker.

Helping babysit children during a couple events for the moms in Hope Homeschoolers in Lakeland, Florida

Being a part of Heritage of Faith church for 10 years where I developed lasting friendships with the families and people there.

Volunteering at TiAnViCa Riding Academy for 7 years where I learned how to have compassion on the children there, and learned how to be a better servant and light for Christ

Playing basketball and soccer for a private Christian school for over 6 years until I graduated from High School

When my brother and one of my best friends started dating. And when it ended badly, I lost her friendship. We are still friends, but definitely not as close as we used to be

Whenever me and my team would lose basketball games, it was hard, but it helped that we lost games so we could learn from our mistakes

When I got all my wisdom teeth cut out and 8 cavities filled all in the same day so I could get braces, which I had for 2 years.
