#1 Gift, Serving (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
It is what God put in me. Jesus said love God and love others. Helping others for me answers the second commandment Jesus gave.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (62%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Faith, Hope and Love these three are what we have on earth until that glorious day. WE all need to be encouraged to carry on. The Paul wrote to in Romans that he wanted to be there so they could give the gift of encouragement to each other. I believe in this truth and depend on the Holy Spirit to overflow through me in this truth.

#3 Gift, Giving (62%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Giving the tithe was one of the first truths God showed me in my pursuit of seeking and finding Him according to His promise. I place little value in earthy things. I desire little earthly things. However I am married so I can not give like I would if single.

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Heard about God in sunday school starting at age 6. Asked my Sunday school teacher to lead me in the prayer to get Jesus in my heart about 4th grade. Had a rocky road until 18 where rededicated my life and moved forward no looking back.
