reading scriptures daily. serving God inn any way that can to give Him the glory.

2. Helping others when can. There is no better feeling to know you can know that you made someone’s by just lending a hand.

3. I have always been a teacher. First at 17 years old when I taught the Junior Girls on Sunday, and preschool-7 year old on Wednesday nights. My own children and their friends. In college when I was a tutor in Biology and Anatomy. i was also a Christian daycare teacher for 2-3 year old. Now I instruct and teach my Grandchildren as well as the children at my church.

I love to work with children the joy that you can get when you see a child’s eyes light up when they have learned something new or just revisiting something old is priceless. Teaching our children is very important to me they are not only our future but the God’s church future as well.

What excites me the most is talking and sharing the word and ideas with my church family.

Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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 maternal Grandmother and Aunt took my sister and I to church starting at 6 years old. I was baptized at 12 years old in to the Baptist church, where I taught Sunday school and sang in the choir and attended their “Church Youth Congress.” Years later I started attending my current church were I rededicated my life to Christ and was baptized in the Pentecostal faith and I faithfully teach, usher and serve where I am needed.

Victory Pentecostal Tabernacle, Warrensburg, Missouri, Usher, Sunday school teacher and choir member 2005 to present.

Church of the Nazarene, El Paso, Texas, Church member and Sunday school teacher 5 years.

Unity Missionary Baptist Church , El Paso, Texas, Sunday school teacher and choir member, 12 years.

Defeating alcoholism in 2003. I could not do it alone. God sent people in my life that could guide me spiritually to encourage to change. Helped me find my faith and the forgiveness of my children, family and friends.

Defeating death in 2003. I could not walk 50 feet without passing out because I could not breathe. Went to the hospital I had only 1 pint of blood and was immediately admitted to the hospital and given 7 pints of blood over several days . I was taken to my room later that evening when the nurse came in to check my vitals and found out the my kidneys were failing was rushed to the ICU. The next day the doctors informed me that if I had not come in on that Friday I would have been dead on Sunday. I stayed in ICU until i was stable enough to go home. I could not have survived that ordeal without the people that God sent to that in my life that could guide me spiritually and encourage to change my lifestyle.

Defeating heart disease in 2016. when the Doctors said that I will always have and enlarge heart it could not be cured God said yes it can.
When blood pressure was 200/167 for 12 hours and not know it till late afternoon in October of this year and heart rate was not elevated and no stroke. God is always the best doctor you can have. He will take care of you.

The same ones listed above are both my negative and positive experiences all balled in to one.
