#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am quick to forgive, love, forget and sometimes it can come back to bite me. I do have to say I don’t regret it in any way because I learn from it and and have faith in God and humanity.

#2 Gift, Giving (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am all for giving time when i can! I don’t have much money but to me there’s more than just writing a check every week. Every connection I make with somebody is a way to show God’s love. So in a way I’m giving part of myself and starting God’s flame in that someone.

#3 Gift, Teaching (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I believe I have a lot to learn before I can teach. The simple stories is one thing but understanding and connecting the scriptures are what I need and want to understand. I’ve always felt loved by God and I want people (especially those who haven’t felt Him before) to experience Him!

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

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.

Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
