My adult spiritual gifts



I heard a sermon at Frontline yesterday about administering God's grace through using your spiritual gifts. I decided it was time to figure out what my spiritual gifts are...because the last time I took a quiz I was in Jr/Senior High. So I took a quiz this morning, and just got these results. I have to say, my strong scores are spot on. I didn't think a test could so ably measure my passions and energies. I think that this has renewed my desire to teach and guide college students through research, writing, and teaching at the university level. And although I didn't know what exhortation was, after looking it up, I realized that it goes hand in hand with teaching. The Faith gift is something I never would have imagined a year ago, but now, I see how true it is.
