[H]eart

1. Greeting people and helping them feel comfortable in the church. It’s a large church and can feel overwhelming when you’re new to the church.

2. Being an active member so I can learn more about the scripture and church.

3. Bringing my granddaughters to church with me and helping them to continue to be an active part of the church.

I enjoy working with all ages and types of people. Some situations may be more uncomfortable for me, but it’s through experiences that we learn.

I’m excited about the church growing throughout the northland and beyond.

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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

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

[E]xperience

My parents raised me and I’ve raised my children as Christians. I wasn’t active in the church.

Several years ago, co-taught (one year) the kindergarten class at Trinity Lutheran Church

Getting my college degree while being a single parent with two young children.
Getting my real estate license within a month after losing my long-term job.

Finding a position that allowed me to advance quickly after getting my college degree.

Finding a church that feels like the perfect fit for me.

Divorce and being a single parent, going through very difficult times but coming out a better person because I knew God was guiding me through those difficult times.

Job loss during a difficult economic time, the job loss was a positive change, but the challenge of financially surviving those times were a challenge. Once again, God guided me and family helped me survive through the hard times.

Living in a rural community during a farming crisis and trying to figure out how to make a living and life for two young children.

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?
