#1 Gift, Serving (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy serving at Special Events at church. I enjoy the help part more than the attachment to meetings, but enjoy part of the planning and preparing process.

#2 Gift, Administration (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I get chills from seeing well written, organized documents or information! As well, I enjoy serving in Administration with the choirs I serve in, the admin portion of Singles/SYA where I used to serve. When an opportunity to do so at work comes up I like to do it as well.

#3 Gift, Mercy Showing (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am a little shocked by this one! I think it relates with serving piece and trying to be more understanding of others at this stage in life. I LOVE gift giving and showing love and appreciation to others when I can and I am sometimes hurt when gifts are not received well (for example, paying for a meal, or unable to give a gift that I have purchased). Otherwise, I feel this something that I am working on.

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
