#1 Gift, Serving (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have a heart for helping others. My struggles with health the last few years have helped me be able to be less judgmental and put myself in other shoes, and have a desire to help them as I have been helped.

#2 Gift, Giving (43%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am giving of my time and energy to the kids, of my love and encouragement. Most often put my family ahead of myself. I give to others in need when I can, whether its an item they need (gatorade, food), or help moving, etc.

#3 Gift, Teaching (40%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am surprised teaching rates higher than encouraging or mercy showing, as I don’t feel confident in my knowledge of the bible. However, I do have a passion to teach my kids about the bible in a way that they can understand it in an effort to lay the foundations for them to have a relationship with God.

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
