This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’ve been so down and had the blessing of an encouraging Christian help me, so I enjoy being that encourager to others.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’m not sure. I guess because I have seen God move mountains and never leave my own side, that I like to share that with others so they can experience God that way I have.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’ve had too many friends that didn’t know God at all or what He has given us, that I like giving them them the information for them to explore, challenge, and learn from.

[H]eart

1. I love helping people,

2. sharing God’s love for us,

3. making things with my hands whether it’s a physical labor, or writing poems, or painting etc.

Young ladies who are going through similar rough spots that I have traveled thru so that they can see it will be ok for them too.

Parenting
Poverty/hunger
Health/fitness
Other – Single mothers

[P]ersonality

Variety

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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

[E]xperience

I always believed, but when we almost lost everything in 2010 I looked for a church asap and clung to the word of God for dear life. It changed my life and my kids lives.

JCC FP – Greeter for only 1-2 times, and kids church 1 time (was TOO loud for me).

Having my first son. He changed my life from a selfish one to a giving one. Got my eyes off of me finally.

Having my second son and watching him stop breathing several times before they found his seizures and got them under control. I started talking to God daily then.

Finding River church. Miguel Venezuela was an usher there and he talked to me every week to see if we were ok. He kept me coming back along with the incredible services week after week, as if God was speaking to me and me alone.

My son almost dying in my arms – and his turn around at being cleared of all seizures at age 1.

My ex who made up lies to the police trying to get me incarcerated because I wouldn’t reconcile with him when I was pregnant.

Not having a great family life growing up, feeling alone even in a room full of family.
