This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
If administration means inspiring people and organising people to join a cause or be better versions of themselves, then yes I feel I have this gifting. But if means being good at booking keeping and paperwork and should be stuck behind a desk then I highly disagree with this result!

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I like to reveal truth and help people to see and understand life from God’s perspective. As an ex-school teacher this is a part of who I am. And I feel my life’s purpose is to inspire people to reach their God given potential.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I like to bless people, make them feel valued and worthy, and to make their lives a little brighter.

[H]eart

1. Create things – especially things that will brighten and enliven an environment or atmosphere.

2. Encourage people

3. Worship God through music – mostly singing since I can’t play any instruments well at the moment.

People who want to learn or are committed to helping – its about attitude really. I often see this more in youth than adults – but whoever is committed a keen I’ll gladly work with them anytime.

Creative, colourful, fun, family focused events, business encouraging things and anything that encourages vibrant God- living excites me. Anything that oozes negativity, apathy, and down-in-the-dumps, defeatist living not just concerns me it annoys me.

Abuse/violence
Spiritual laziness
Other – Human Trafficing

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

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 an awesome Christian home, saw the reality and power of God from a young age. Gave my heart to Jesus when I was 4 years old and never looked back.

Dargaville Christian Fellowship/The Lighthouse Church – Dargaville, NZ – Children’s Church teacher, Youth Pastor, Worship Leader, Event Co-ordinator & Stylist – 5-6 years then moved away to teachers college, 4-5 years then went on the mission field , 4years then moved to Auckland to get married.

City Church Waitakere – West Auckland, NZ – Youth Pastor/Leader, Worship leader, Creative Ministries Director – Event Creation, Co-ordination, Styling and Managing Sunday Morning Services. – about 9 years.

Inspire Church – Albany, NZ – Hospitality Ministry Leader and Helper, Children Church teacher, helped with various events in décor & catering. 4 years.

As a child our family was involved in planting two churches. Us kids were considered part of the team not just the ones play out the back.

Marrying my awesome husband – Bruce and giving birth to my awesome son – Ethan.

Giving birth to my awesome son – Ethan

Going through a Christian teachers college and the mess and struggle that was. This taught me perseverance among other things.

Going through burnout while being in church leadership and how the Senior Pastor and elders handled it so very poorly. This experience taught me to seek good help from healthy and Godly places. It is what make me want to care for other especially those in positions of leadership.

Being indecently assaulted as a child by a man boarding with our family. He came close to death when my Dad found out – that experience is how I know the father heart of God (yes that requires further explanation but that’s for another time). I also believe that this experience is the foundation for what rises up with in me when I see people being abused and mistreated.
