#1 Gift, Serving (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Helping people has always been a part of my nature while growing up and has stayed with me. It is my love language. I would never deny helping others when it is needed. I love serving people because I enjoy seeing that relief and smile on their faces when the job is completed or even if it isnt.

#3 Gift, Evangelism (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

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

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

Church Choir, Bible Reader and Sunday School Teacher for 9-12 age group

St. Georges’ Anglican Church, East Street, Kingston

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

Finding out and battling breast cancer while doing studying for my degree

Severe relational challenges among my immediate family
