[H]eart

1. I love being in the presence of family. I love when my family is all together.

2. I love having meaningful conversation with good people/friends.

3. I love learning about new places or cultures. I love learning the history of people, places, or things.

I love to work with people my age, people who have great spirits, who are genuinely a pleasure to be with.

I am excited about volunteering outreach (going out and serving the community). The only things that concern me about church are certain cliques that may form and leave other’s out. I know that people have relationships with one another and know one another, but sometimes it helps to reach out to those who are new and not just be among yourself.

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

I was at a point in my life where everything was coming together in the worldly realm. Spiritually I felt lost, abandoned, incomplete. Unknowingly searching for Christ in relationships with others, I was completely undone. I started to go to church, and joined online ministry groups, I joined a bible study, just trying to find Christ. I went to service at a church that would be my future church home and build the foundation for my Christian life. I can’t remember what the topic that day, but I do know that the pastor ended with “The Devil, cannot sow seeds in grateful heart”. That is the day I came home to Christ.
