#1 Gift, Giving (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
The Lord asks of us to give to others. I would rather give. It’s joyful to see others happy.

#2 Gift, Evangelism (62%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love to talk about God, this is pretty new to me. Usually I stay quiet so I’m not giving false word, but I’m learning to listen and understand that sometimes that’s better and that’s really what some people may need. I think evangelism can simple be to just “be” and show Christs love through actions.

#3 Gift, Serving (62%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Helping is wonderful. To help/serve others is joyful, I love helping children or older people that need someone to just love them. I enjoy and love serving with the children.

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

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility
