#1 Gift, Administration (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I have a gift in Administration because of my passion for entrepreneurship. I’ve always felt drawn to organizing, tasking, and leading. God has put me in many spaces throughout life where I end up servicing in an admin role.

#2 Gift, Teaching (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
As a young girl, I remember teachers telling me they could see me becoming a teacher and I now train our new employees at work. I never could see myself as a teacher in the traditional sense, but I now see that there are other ways that God can use my ability to reach/connect with people.

#3 Gift, Giving (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
In the last two years, I just realized the importance of giving. In order to move forward the body of Christ, resources are needed. Money is only a tool that God gives us to do his work.

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 would say I became a Christian in my early teenage years. I never really understood Christ and what he meant in my life until I was about 15 or 16 years old. Even though I grew up going to church, I never took Christ into my heart and allowed a relationship until then.
