#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am empathetic and find it easy to see (and feel) from others perspectives or situations. This is most likely due to my experience in a dysfunctional and ultimately broken family.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I find myself more and more driven and inspired to tell and show others how God has saved me and blessed my life so unbelievably. This may be due to the absolutely huge change that my journey with Jesus has and is having in every area of my life.

#3 Gift, Serving (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I often make myself available to serve by providing practical and technical help throughout the church and other areas of my journey. I think this could come from the experience of having nobody to help or support me for most of my life.

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

God taught me to feel, he led me from the darkness of an anxious depression into the full light of His presence so that I could feel the pain and for the first time love and peace.

Whyalla Baptist Church, Partner/member and youth group leader. 5 years.

Whyalla Uniting Church, Technical support and general attendee. 2 Years.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

The amazing response of the community that I told my testimony to.

Taking a leap of faith to relocated interstate and study engineering following prayer.

Listening to the thought “what if you focus on the good”…. when there was no good.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Growing in an emotionally and physically abusive family.

Going through a family breakup (parents divorce), and all the confusion that followed.

Being left by my family at a young age, having no one around to help or support me.
