This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I desire to be an encourager for others and desire encouragement myself. I have been in a wilderness period of my life and need healing from heartbreak and I know that only comes from Jesus I am a newly rededicated believer and I know that without Jesus I am nothing and will not get anywhere in life. I am a big people person who longs for solid connections and by encouraging others of biblical truths to live a better life and be happier with Christ; at least from the recent experience I have had in my life I will to do to my best ability. I encourage good character behavior and church attendance, however, I do not feel equipt to disciple and teach others of the word correctly right now.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I personally need to fill my cup and grow my faith before I feel confident to spread the word to others. I do have a longing and desire for helping others, giving and international missions have been weighing on my heart. I am passionate about adventure and travel and fulfilling my purpose with Christ and if that involves missions I am eager to learn and tell those in a foreign land. However, I know I need training and study before I can witness to those who have never heard of Christ.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy being kind and caring for others and am passionate about adventure and travel and fulfilling my purpose with Christ and if that involves missions or hopefully to use my skillsets of talking, listening and helping others than that is what I desire to do.

Routine

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

[E]xperience

I grew up in church and never truly believed until life experiences and relationships brought me to my knees and I realized I am nothing without Christ. I will not be happy or fulfilled without a relationship and I now take my relationship very seriously.
