This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Every day at some point, I encounter grace in my struggle with sin, reminding me my future once held Hell and now because of Grace, I am bound for Heaven. This free mercy is wild and amazing, even when my emotions wane, the news of this reality must be shared with others. I am compelled to let others know too, that this forgiveness is for them as well. There is no sin too great for His grace.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God is my shelter and my dwelling place. I am not whom I am because of a easy journey. From my earliest memories in life to now terror and fear I have battled and God has become the One who leans over me. His character became my firm footing, I knew not what to do time and time again, but from a child I cried out to Him and he heard me. He hid me in Him and I could stand in the storm. I believe I can walk into others pain not to rescue, sometimes not even to speak, but to hold pain and nod to the name of God “el Roi” . He see’s, He is aware, He is here.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
This is hard for me. I believe I am to share, write, lead, speak. This is terrifying and against all the ways I was brought up. However, I am compelled to write, to share. I sense easily the culture and communities around me and what is disturbed and I am often lead to pray. I feel immature in how to communicate to surrender.

[P]ersonality

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
