1. One thing I love to do that brings joy into my life is dance. As I’ve gotten older I have had less time to do it, but overtime I decide to go to a dance class nothing matters in that time.

2. I love spending time with my family and friends. It brings me so much joy when I’m able to create new memories, open up and connect with the right people.

3. I love growing in Christ and building my relationship with God. The joy I get from that brings a fulfillment no matter where I’m at in life.

I love to work with millenialls and pre-teens.

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

I grew up in the church, but I became to truly know God for myself in college. I was not focused at school my first time away from home, and my mom decided to stop supporting me. I had to come back home and get my self back into school. I didn’t know how I was going to pay for it but somehow I was offered a grant at the new University I was attending. My grades that transferred were nowhere good enough for any type of scholarship or grant but somehow God made a way for me to continue my education without the support of my family, which I thought I needed.

Taking ballet/dance classes has made an impact on who I am today. It has instilled a poise, confidence, and grace in me from the time I was 5 years old.

Moving to Houston has made a big impact on who I am today, I am from a small town and it’s easy to get complacent. However moving to Houston has exposed me to so many new ideas, and people with different backgrounds and views that I would not have learned about in Beaumont.

Being close with my parents and siblings is an experience that is still ongoing that has made a positive impact.

Having my best friend of 10 years betray me, has shaped me tremendously this year. The heartbreak and pain ultimately led me to Higher D.

Growing up in a home where my father and step-mom didn’t have a perfect relationship but constantly tried to hide it, triggers a passion in me. My step-mom stabbed my dad, and to this day my family has not talked about it.

Wrapping It Up

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)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

• Putting Your Spouse First
• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. I would open a dance studio.

4. To change people lives with just my smile and spirit.
