[H]eart

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

1. Helping children/adolescents learn and work towards their goals

2. Being around fellow Christians and discussing the bible or Christ brings me joy.

3. Helping people or the church, or doing something for a good cause gives me joy and fulfillment.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I love to work with a variety and type of people. I have a hard time working with people who are power hungry and have no second thought for others. I really like working with adolescents. I have a passion to see them grow in Christ and to find who they are in Him. Adolescents are so confused and are trying to figure everything out anyway, why not help them and try to shape them according to Christ?

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

Issues in the church that would concern me would be doctrinal issues, such as something that is being taught falsely or not being taught at all.
Any need in the church excites me.

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
