[H]eart

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

1. I want people to know that the Bible is not a story book, but a history book with scientific facts of real events! Not to mention the greatest love letter ever written!

2. Music! I love new worship music or a song that can bring someone back to God again! It’s another way to speak with God especially when can’t find the words!

3. Being outside in God’s creation is my favorite way of connecting with God!

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up with my Christian mom and unbelieving dad. I rededicated my life to Christ in middle school!

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

Rescue church, Flandreau, SD, Music Team – sound board, 5+ yrs???

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

My amazing MOM

My family and friends

Singleness – even though it doesn’t always feel positive, I know God can use me in ways that is unique to me

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 dad who is an unbeliever and has Multiple Sclerosis

Family members having issues with alcoholism and addiction

Being the child of an unevenly yoked marriage. I have a heart for teaching women the importance of waiting for a godly man because I have seen the problems that come with spouses not being on the same spiritual page, or book for that matter.
