This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have developed empathy as a skill in my career and I think it is something that may come naturally to me. To my understanding, this is a piece of exhortation and encouragement. I do enjoy using the Word of God to encourage people and bring healing and truth into their lives.

#3 Gift, Giving (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I think that some people are made for the mission field and others are made to support them. It all belongs to God anyway, possessions are not important, and we can reach the unreached through our tithes and giving.

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

Very far from God much of my life, bad decisions for many years, dysfunctional childhood and history of depression and anxiety. Cam to the end of myself when I almost list my relationship with my then-fiancé. Ended up in my current church one Sunday and felt the presence and love of God like never before, responded to the altar call and gave my life to Christ. Chains from the past were broken immediately and I have been in a process of growth and healing from that time forward.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Journey Church, Fairview Park OH, Children’s Ministry and Laura’s Home for 4 years

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

getting married

having my son

joining and being active in Journey Church

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

dysfunctional childhood

loss of my mother early in life

depression and anxiety
