[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Be in nature always noticing all the little things most take for granted daily in God’s beautiful creatures and creations. His artwork and all the beauty he gave us to behold though everyone of the senses he has given us.

2. Helping others

3. Singing worship

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I can work with anyone and enjoy every minute.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

I believe Christians have grown complacent and have forgotten the Godly foundation this Earth was built upon a lot. We have several lukewarm Christians and God wants us on fire. All in or all out. To many Christians afraid to stand up and stand in the gap for Christ.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born into a mafia family with many childhood horrors that led me to Christ, the only safety I ever felt I had them into Parenthood raising Christian children, teaching children’s church and being into choir then special music at church, to list in drug addiction, overdosing ( almost dying) and having to find myself again and get back to God and back on track.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Drug rehab

Celebrate recovery

Paying it forward

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Drug addiction

Homelessness

Being in a Mafia family that killed people, prostituted children, abused mentally, verbally, physically, and sexually through most of my childhood. Foster care, alcoholic Father, mentally ill mother both of which were abusive.
