#1 Gift, Giving (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am a giver I feel it is important to help those in need. I’ve had people live at my home who are having financial difficulties so they can get back on their feet. I don’t want to see them on the street.

#2 Gift, Serving (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have a heart to serve in the Kingdom of God. I do it for God. We all need to do our part in the Community.

#3 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I like to encourage people when they are going through to always give them a word of encouragement. To encourage them to find the positive in the situation. To be thankful for wherever you are in life (in that season we all go through it’s just how you handle). It is not going to last. Thank God that you are able to walk, talk, and breath that there are some people that are not as fortunate.

My mom always said is worrying going to change the situation all you’re going to do is make yourself sick (and the problem is still going to be there).

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility
