      Reflection Questions: 

      1. Share a little bit about your personality. How do some of these traits connect to your life vision? Do they strengthen you or hold you back?

      2. What are your spiritual gifts? Do you have trouble discerning what your spiritual gifts are? 

      3. What are some of your natural gifts? What about the gifts you have worked at? How do you use these gifts to bless others?
