#1 Gift, Giving (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
If I was the one making income in my family, I would be delighted to give. But I don’t. My husband makes the income, and he won’t tithe 🙁

#2 Gift, Serving (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love to serve in the background; kitchen, setting up for Bible study, encouragement to women who need someone to listen…

#3 Gift, Teaching (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I prefer not to teach because it makes me extremely anxious and I’m not a good planner and always leave things to the last minute. It wouldn’t be a good fit for me because I would end up dreading it more than looking forward to it.

[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Sitting with Jesus and reading His word or a good Christian book, singing praises to Him and praying.

2. Beach walks either alone or w a friend

3. Exercising.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I have done well with the women in my Bible study, so maybe ages 25-100

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

I think pastors need to make themselves more approachable to their congregation. Get to know everyone.

There are lots of hurting women out there in the church whose husbands don’t go to church with them, pray with them, or read God’s word, but yet say they are Christians. These women need prayer. They need to know they are not alone.

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

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

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
