This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Thru my years in CBS bible study, I have mentored and helped many young woman in their walk with the Lord. As a senior member of CBS, I continue to provide leadership and evangelism to new and current members. I also have a heart for mission work and would actively participate in any trips not in the middle of the summer. I have found and will continue to find mission trips outside COTR as prefer medical work efforts.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
See above with CBS. I also love to work with hospitalized or ill friends & family. I have taken several people with serious illnesses to Mayo and have opened my heart to providing care to those the Lord puts in my path.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Now that I have retired, I have found great joy in serving others. The Lord had helped place me where I can do the most good and thru my work with the Hospice Thrift store, I’ve been able to encourage my co workers plus clients that have very little resources, but come to our store. I also continue to financially support 2 missionaries plus 3-4 international children.

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
