This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
My parents have always told me that I have a servant’s heart. I love to serve and to help others. I love being a part of something greater and to me this is serving in the church. I recently started taking offering at church and I love that I am given this opportunity to serve and contribute on Sunday mornings. I would love to be with the kids for at least one service every week. I have so much fun with the little kids while we are teaching them about Jesus.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I know that since I have a job and earn a paycheck, I am called to give a certain amount to the church to be used for the Kingdom of God. It feels so good to be able to give and know that I am helping others who need the money more than I do and that it will be used to share the gospel.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love to share God’s Word. Lately, it has happened a lot at school. I care so much about everyone around me and I am often the person that people come to when they’re sad or overwhelmed and just need some encouragement. I love that people know that I care. I tell them that Jesus cares and loves them so much more than I can explain. I pray with people for God’s protection and guidance for the circumstance they are in. Sharing the gospel brings me joy.

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.

[E]xperience

I grew up in a Christian home where we went to the same church every Sunday for 12 years. I am constantly surrounded by my Christian family. By about the time I was 6 or 7, I was baptized. I have always read my Bible and gone to church.

I have served at Grace Community Church in Hilton Head, South Carolina. I was an Awana leader for 2 years.

I have served at Cornerstone Church in Bluffton, South Carolina in the Kids ministry and currently serve as a small group babysitter.

My parents working out their problems and dad moving back home.

Church leaders and Christian family members always surrounding me.

The growing closeness of my relationship with my siblings.

My parents were separated for a period of time and my siblings and I went to Divorce Care for Kids.

My aunt and uncle abused their children and the kids are now being adopted by family members who were able to provide a Godly home.

My sister had severe depression and was suicidal for a period of time a few years ago.
