#1 Gift, Teaching (100%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I like to know my material and the best way to know you understand something is if you can teach it to others. I like teaching, but my one with worry is that sometimes i get frustrated of one of the people I’m trying to teach isn’t keeping pace and I have to keep rexplaining. Other than that it’s ok. I prefer smaller settings for teaching as well. Not large groups.

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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

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 4 at home with my mom. Read a Bible story as we did every night. Told them I was finally ready to become a Christian. Not a big bold story but it’s mine. The testimony I guess we be my life after that.

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:

Watching close friends and their families lives fall apart when things got hard for them, turning their backs on God.

When I’ve tried my absute best to be the best I can be and still fail, It’s helped me remember that no matter how good i think i can be, I still need Good.

Death of family members and friends.
