I just think it is interesting that some aspects of these gifts are so obviously apparent in my very nature. Others, not so much, but I think that is natural since these gifts can perfectly describe any one person. Each person has a different mix. But, it was encouraging and empowering for me just to think about this for a while. Cool.
