[H]eart

1. Reading my daily devotional and bible scriptures to start my day. I actually set my alarm to schedule this before my day starts.

2. Going to the gym and listening to christian rock songs while I workout.

3. Although it isn’t as easy anymore, it is still a frequent ongoing event, to have all three of my kids together. I love to spend time with them. they’re great and I am so blessed to have them.

This is an interesting question.(I recently had to get a different job) I currently work with a lot of disgruntled employees and it’s been hard trying to fit in. I’m reaching and trying to learn to be a light. Hope that answers the question.

I’m really learning where I would be best suited to serve. I’m trying to actively participate in all I can at the vineyard in order to know all I can and do all I can.

Homelessness
Drug abuse/recovery
Alcoholism
Poverty/hunger
Compulsive behavior
Abuse/violence
At-risk children
Health/fitness

[A]bilities

Sadly, I am not real certain what my greatest abilities are. I’m not a career woman but I have raised two very successful kids on my own and my teen has a bright future as well.

I worked a lot as a temporary employee for a lot of years and I also was a letter carrier for four years but most of the work I’ve done has been in customer service.

I am very versatile. I also have motivation and can multitask. ( I sound like I’m writing my resume). I have an ability to talk to people of all walks of life. I can tailor how I communicate with them by their personality.

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 grew up in a non christian home but always sought to know Jesus from friends and attended bible study and through the years attended different churches. Being at the vineyard for the last year and a half has made a major difference and change in my life.

N/A

Having the friends that I had when I was young helped me to stay strong and overcome.

Meeting my future husband and learning how to love.

Having the kids that I have has helped me to not think of myself and my problems and how amazing they are!! I do believe they kept me young and saved me.

growing up in an angry and poor, broken home. I learned happiness does not begin from anywhere but within.

Losing many loved ones early in life like my only sibling when I was 11. I also married young and lost my husband when I was 22. Our children were 14 1/2 months apart and they were toddlers. I learned how to be strong.

I remember hurting so much when I was young and even not so young. I cried long and hard and was always alone and feeling empty. I always shut anyone I could out from how I felt. I don’t want anyone to feel that way. I would do all I could for anyone not to feel that way, especially a child.
