#1 Gift, Giving (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I believe everything I have is God’s and that He allows me to use them temporarily as tools to be used as needed. Once I no longer need that tool, I feel that someone else can be blessed by using it so I donate it.

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have always loved people, especially those who just are not like others. I like hanging out with them, always interesting and I learn something from them every time.

#3 Gift, Evangelism (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have never really done this before. The only reason it ended up so high on the list is that I want to! I want to talk to everyone and anyone about Jesus. I want people to know how much He loves them. I will listen to them and love on them and want the Holy Spirit to work through me to love others, pray for them and heal them. I get so worked up when I think about it.

[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Draw. I have visions and I want to draw my visions. I want to bless others with my drawings. I want the Lord to use my hands to make masterpieces for others to be blessed by.

2. Gardening. I have only grown a rose plant so far… and it’s only been a month- but still. I have visions of growing gardens for God and planting them at churches, schools, and shelters. I want to learn how to garden and bless and teach others (especially children) about seeds, faith, growth, love, and everything that pertains to God and to growing life in the soil. It does something inside of me when I think about it.

3. My daughter. Every second I get to do something for her or be around her, I have peace inside of me. It’s where I belong, and I enjoy preparing for my visits with her and learning about health/nutrition.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I do not have a preference. I love and enjoy being around people who are younger, my age and older 🙂

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

People who are sick, financial concerns, homeless, finding peace in the midst of the storm.

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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

God flooded my brain with thoughts. My coin was flipped and I saw the other side. My body trembled and could not stand for hours. Jesus spoke through my daughter and grab my hand with my thumb tattoo and told me that He gave this to me and that He loves me. My daughter held me the entire time I was crying. It changed my life.

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

I have been involved with working with kids, the Awana program and the harvest festival with Pastor Houston.

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

Going from the rock bottom of a negative mental state to this side of loving life and loving people.

I have goals and ambitions that involve others for the first time. My life is not my own, it belongs to God to use for others glorifying Him.

Praying and devoting space for my time with God. It’s imperative for me to have time for myself and for God.

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:

Mamas who are not with their children no matter what the circumstance is.

Divorced families and understanding the hardship of what follows this action.

Sexual immorality… just explains itself. I have a heart for others struggeling in this area.
