#3 Gift, Mercy Showing (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I know how flawed I am personally, and I believe that most of the time, people need someone to give them a chance to be the best version of themselves they can be, so showing someone mercy is profitable for everyone; we all become better people for having shown and received mercy at key points in our walk.

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

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was raised in a Christian home, but didn’t really accept Christ on a personal, meaningful level until I was entering High School and could see my faith as my own and not my parents’/family’s.

First Baptist Church of Grandview; Grandview, MO: worship ministry (1-2 years)

Abundant Life Baptist Church; Lee’s Summit, MO: worship ministry (about 6 years) and AWANA – Wed. night children’s ministry (3 years)

Pleasant Valley Baptist Church; Liberty, MO: worship ministry – choir (5 years) and AWANA ministry (4 years)
