This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I don’t know what to say, I’d like to bring people to Christ through good example, talking about experiences and mainly artwork as that is what I am, an artist

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’m not sure how good I am at teaching, I can explain some things from the bible but I believe it’s pretty self explanatory and the reader should come to their own interpretation of the scripture ultimately.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I do encourage people and sometimes it is successful but I wouldn’t say I have a 100% encouragement to action ratio by any stretch of the imagination

1. I love writing

2. I love rapping

3. I love painting

I love working with people who are kind hearted and loving, especially Christians but also young people and the elderly, I don’t discriminate I’m happy to work with pretty much anyone as long as they’re not exceedingly rude or disrespectful

I don’t see any problems with Soul Church, the rapport with their congregation and ability to inspire and fill with faith is what excites me the most and is the reason I attend

Drug abuse/recovery

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

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

[E]xperience

When I was admitted to hospital with mental health issues I picked up the bible and was healed.

I met a punk on a train who told me you’ll never know what it’s like to be having the most fun unless you step into those shoes and live it

My best friend from school played some of my favourite songs on guitar to me and I became determined to learn guitar and persue a career in music, I don’t play anymore LOL but the lesson remains

A lad I met in Norwich played me a great deal of rap music and we would cypher together on our bars and started up a group together. It’s not together anymore but it changed my life for good.

Being disciplined to severely in the past, I don’t want to say who, has caused me to be catatonic at times in certain situations, I’m getting over it though with the lords help.

I was betrayed by a school friend over something dear to me and it made me lose some faith in humanity and myself but I’m restoring my faith in those through Christ

I took drugs in my twenties and I believe it was a big waste of time in my life when I could have been doing so much more, I avoid them at all costs, perhaps I have already turned this into a positive, I want to get as much fun out of life as possible and become a famous person, but without the marring effect of drugs.
