[H]eart

1. Investing time with my family

2. Being support In any way possible for others especially in times of need. And encouraging and motivating others to be the best possible.

3. Serving in church, serving others in church and providing help through the church to others in need.

I love working with anyone who has a positive attitude and is willing to work. I especially enjoy working with you and young adults. I enjoy giving them the opportunity to help, grow and expand their talents and vision.

Really, almost anything church related excites me. I’m really concerned about the programs, ministries, ideas, etc.. that churches provide for youth and young adults. They are the future and it’s important to guide them properly with love and encouragement hoping that they won’t walk away from Jesus..

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

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

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

In October of 2000, my life personally was a mess, almost went through a divorce. I had been going to church for about 3 years but wasn’t saved. It was when faced with uncertainty that I cried out to God to save me, my marriage and my family that I experienced God’s love, forgiveness and grace. In a matter of days I was transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
