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.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I have had a relationship with the holy spirit and God for as long as I can remember. The Lord’s work in me became evident when I got divorced in 2008. I was laid off and divorced at the same time. Emptied out so God could fill me back up with His goodness and purpose. He spent ten years following that unpacking the components of a Christian life so that I would discover them each with fresh eyes as God intended me to see and know them. THEN He gave me a community to fellowship with once I found my identity in Him.

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:

In meeting my former spouse, he gave me exposure to science and the direction to become a Speech Pathologist.

The ten years I spent seeking a church and community but God kept me with Him to build my discernment and trust in Him.

Having my dad who was a healthy, firm foundation.

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:

My last relationship finally broke my cycle of chasing after and longing for a relationship and putting my worth and value in that.

Remembering what it was like to be a child of a parent who had past traumas and mental health struggles. I always wanted to remember what it was like to be that child so I could understand the children who followed.

Coming from a low income background and having family members who have experienced homelessness.
