This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have seen the prophetic active in my life and have had them confirmed as very accurate very often.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I knew teaching was apart of my calling but I didn’t think I was operating in it yet. This one is surprising to me.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’ve never had this result register on my gifts tests until now. I can see the evidence of it very clearly as I’ve been functioning in pastoral/shepherding roles with a lot of the people i’m looking after and encouraging right now.

[H]eart

1. Worship. Worship through song. Showing people who God really is through music and allowing others to experience His real, tangible amazing love during worship. I want people to know His Spirit intimately and be desperate for Jesus everyday. Music for me is how I love to reach people.

2. Seeing people step into and operate in their giftings. I want people to function in their strengths and giftings. I love seeing that. I may not always be great at getting that person there but once they’re in the will of God for their lives I love seeing them functioning in that.

3. Having time to spend doing nothing. Recharging, not thinking or having to work hard at something all the time. I love my own space but not for too long. I love being still and not having to be on the go all the time.

Probably people my age, young adults. I know I don’t like working with children or youth. Anyone older than me are great but probably young adults.

Worship team of course. I love life group. I love it when the teaching of the Word is very interesting and in depth, poetic and inspiring.

Spiritual laziness

[A]bilities

I’ve worked in marketing, reception work, as a zoo keeper, worked on a register.

Singing. I do feel I teach the correct function of singing in a worship environment well.
I majored in art for HSC so I can draw and design artworks.
I can give public presentations well.

I’ve never taught a class or seminar but I’ve taught basic singing/ worship to our vocalists, conducted bible studies and outside of church I’ve taught large groups of members of the public including school groups on wildlife and conservation.

My passion to allows follow Jesus, not just in general terms but to say yes to the will He has for me. This includes being a supporting role for the vision of my Pastor and the Church. I have a passion to worship and to see others become passionate to worship God too. I feel i’m very loyal. I believe and thrive off long term relationships.

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

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

[E]xperience

I grew up in church with a Christian family who always served and was in leadership. 2010 was the year I fully yielded everything to Jesus after 12 months of heartache and trial and I began my journey discovering the will for my life. I stepped into my giftings in worship and started to grow up in God.

Just this church

My parents modelling correct living through the Word including knowing the Holy Spirit and recognising His Presence.

The influence of mentors, encouragers, pastors continually believing in me as I grew into my calling.

My ability to say yes to God and no to anxiety has completely changed who I am today and what I do.

Years of fighting and suffering from anxiety and at times depression and low self esteem.

An unhealthy relationship in high school that ultimately led to me fully yielding to God.

The uncomfortable times of waiting for a husband. Because I experienced many years of the waiting season i’m passionate about encouraging others that being single is still amazing even when it’s uncomfortable.
