They are fun. I’m not exactly sure because it has been several years since I have taken the test, but I’m pretty sure mine are music, eating and sarcasm. They are fun.

Let's see for me: Wisdom, Teaching, Exhortation. And I laughed when I learned this. Because I have a HUGE MASSIVE fear of speaking in front of people, yet I love teaching and learning about God's word. It is a daily struggle. lol. As for right now, the biggest way I can use my gifts is by doing as much as Dan needs me to for Illuminate. For instance, we are doing our relationship series and we are co-teaching it. He asks for my input a lot and places me where he knows I will be able to use my gifts effectively. For my family..I use my gifts in my home as well. Since God has given me children to raise up in the Lord, it is vital that I use these gifts to teach my children His word, ask for wisdom in how to discipline and encourage them. So while I am limited (for right now) how much I can do outside the home, our gifts can still be used. There is a balance that you will need to pray about and talk about with your hubby. It takes time (I am still trying to figure it all out) and a lot of work but you will get into a groove. Until you add kid #2. hehe! oooooh good post! Let’s see for me: Wisdom, Teaching, Exhortation.
