This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’m very surprised I scored high in Evangelism. I think of evangelism on a larger scale and have always thought I better served in a small group. I have felt a calling to professional working ladies and how to lead Christ in the corporate, secular world. I have a passion to relate to others who face the struggles of being a Christian in today’s culture and would love to be a part of a movement much larger than myself or my immediate circle.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have a passion to be a difference maker. I love to teach and encourage others to grow in knowledge and understanding. It encourages and blesses me to see others lives changed through the power of Christ.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
In my professional life I’m an executive director. I know those abilities can be used to further the kingdom. I would be interested to know how I could fit in and support in this area.

Variety

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 a Christian family, but not always a Christian household. For a period of time I went to church alone and felt the calling at 8 years old. I accepted Christ after a children’s church service. My great grandfather who was a southern baptist minister baptized me in our families home church in Aberdeen, Kentucky 1978.

Prayer team

Bible college. I took one semester of Bible college and it was amazing! It really strengthened my walk and faith.

My spiritual leaders and mentors throughout my adult life personally and professionally have helped mold and shape me.

Small groups and ladies retreats have always been opportunities to reconnect with God in a whole new way. I’ve enjoyed and benefitted from any that I have attended.

Difficult childhood experiences that were overcome.

Professional disappointment
