This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel if you encourage others to see the best in themselves that they will be able to apply it to hopefully to see the best in others and in the world. If you make someone feel good about themselves and their accomplishment they will be reminded how important their place in the world is.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel that I am comfortable sharing the word of God to anyone who is interested in listening. I also feel just as comfortable sharing with those who do not believe the same without being too overwhelming with my own beliefs. Still making them comfortable with the conversation is key, if others are comfortable talking to you they will listen closer to your words and reflect later. Where if you make someone uncomfortable they will just want to get away as quickly as possible.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel that I always show mercy because others hurt just as you do. We may not share the same pain; however pain and sorrow are still pain and sorrow. The way that we perceive it is just different.

[H]eart

1. Spending as much time with my family and friends

2. I love to serve others and see what joy that you can bring to them

3. I love to travel and try new adventures. It makes me feel alive in a different type of way

I love to work with the those who are looking for help, it can be help with leaving a violent home, it could be with someone looking for help with the mental health or addiction. I don’t have an age necessary, mainly just those who need a new direction in life and they are just looking for support to get them started in the right direction.

The most exciting ministry would be to go on a mission trip to help and serve those who need help with making their everyday life better in some way.

Drug abuse/recovery
Abuse/violence
At-risk children

[A]bilities

I work in healthcare managing a call center for multiple doctor offices.

I have experience taking care of the sick, dying and managing medical offices

As far as talents I don’t feel that I have too many physical ones. I do love people and interacting with them so that is a personal skill. I feel that people trust me and know that I will do right by them.

I am not sure that I have ever taught a class or seminar. I have lead meetings many times however.

having an open mind

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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.
