This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel that God has predetermined my life since before I was in the womb, not through anything that I personally have done, but rather by his decision alone. All my life, I have felt that I have always been on the path of my destiny, good and bad, that I would not change one thing that has happened to me as I believe that it has all been part of the journey of cultivating me into the woman that I am. I have no regrets in my life, meaning if I had to do it all over again, I would go through every hardship, crisis, abuse, addiction, and suffering I have ever had happen. Including those not self inflicted, that I would still be the person that I am in my heart and in my mind and in my soul. I believe with every cell in my being, that God has a plan for me and a use for me to serve him.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have suffered many obsticles in my life, from sexual and physical and mental abuse, to suffering from grief and extreme depression, I suffered from chemical and alcohol addiction, I have raised 3 daughters without a father, I have explored many religious organizations and know that no matter what truths some believe, I only have to pray and read the bible and reflect on my life and look at my daughters and in the mirror to know that there is no other greater or more loving than my father the lord God in Heaven and the way to the father is through his son Jesus Christ my savior.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have much empathy and perspective on living a sin filled life. I know what it is like to be outcasted, abandoned, looked down on and judged. I am giving grace which is undeserved forgiveness by my father and therefore must freely extend that to all as well.

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

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.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

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 was about 7 years old when I asked Jesus Christ into my heart. I struggled most of my life with what religion was right. I failed in finding God as I did not ask him or learn about him through his word.

August 11, 1985 at 4:50 am, I absolutely came to believe in God. It was the very moment my daughter was born.

God has never turned his back on me despite the fact that I questioned him and turned from him.

The fact that I am still alive after all the suicide attempts and struggles with many obsticles in my life for a very early age

Abuse

Addiction

Homelessness
