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

1. I would be lying if I didn’t put sleep on here. I enjoy sleeping. Helping to make someone’s life easier by assisting with tasks brings joy and fulfillment to my life.

2. Organizing really brings joy and fulfillment to my life. If my space is clean and everything is in its proper place, I feel like I can conquer any tasks and it keeps my stress low.

3. Making handmade, DIY or personalized gifts for people really brings me joy and fulfillment.

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

I love working with children, teens especially. I feel that it is easier to communicate with older children but working with kids in general is exciting.

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

Probably setting up church events, decorating the church events on a limited budget but creating an amazing and unforgettable experience. Possibly organizing church camps and mission trips along with community outreach. Organizing the administrative side for the church with systems. I thoroughly enjoy creating or improving systems. Also, just assisting where I’m needed.

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My father was a Reverend so growing up he had a church we attended. All of my dad’s side participated in church in some way. My maternal grandma would take me to church with her every Sunday during my summers spent with her.

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

I’ve never served at any church I’ve attended

N/A

N/A

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

Covenant Church in Carrollton, Texas was always warm and inviting. Though it was a big church, I always felt like I was known by name and just by being another number.

Beth and Kenya wanting to go to church during college and making a point to get involved in Bible Study.

Gary and Chyanne wanting to go to church regularly and then sitting and speaking about the Word after.

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:

Living in one room at Uncle Kenneth’s home due to Aunt Lisa selling the bed from under me.

My father never making time for me as a priority and not being protective while I was growing up. The loss of my father and grandparents at a young age.

Not feeling that I had control of my future in terms of my major in college or just life in general. Constantly moving and having to start over.
