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

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

I grow up in a Christian home, asked Jesus in my heart at age 6, but struggled with the flesh growing up

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

college & career- CVC

Young Married-CVC

Children ministry-CVC

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

Marring my husband Bryan, he has taught me to be more kind, loving, gentle & understanding. I am a more purposeful person because of him

Adopting Johnny & bringing him into our lives, I cannot image our family life without him now

visiting a children’s orphanage in Mexico, I have always had a heart to adopt

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:

My sinful behaviors when I was a young adult, living for myself & ignoring truth. It has equipped me to deal with our oldest son with love, kindness & God’s truth

The lack of godly discipline in my household when I was a child. It has been a driving force to raise my own children in absolute truth

Dating just to date, to have someone. This has helped the way I deal with other people & sharing with them my past & how unfulfilling it was because God wasn’t the center of my life at the time
