This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I try to never judge others, but rather treat them with dignity and respect and let them know I believe in them knowing God can help them with anything

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I value being able to help others, but usually more behind the scenes or not having the spot light put on me

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God has given everything for us and spreading His good news and experiences seems to help others trust and relate to me

[H]eart

1. Encourage others rather than judging them, so they can see I truly care and they can trust me, and so they feel like a valued human being

2. Activities with my children, whether it be something fun, going to church, or helping them learn something new

3. Spend time with God and developing a closer dependent relationship on him. I can grow in this area by studying scripture, doing so-journey work, attending my small group, going to church, meditating and praying, and listening to worship music.

Although I love working with children, God has shut the doors clearly on this and is moving me into working with adults with challenges who need someone compassionate and caring to guide them through issues

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

I always was but it wasn’t until I went through a childhood of trauma and then 3 abusive marriages that I understood the value of a true relationship with God and total surrender and having to rely on him and be dependent on him. this is what has gotten me through all the trauma and has given me gifts to help others in similar situations

FAC – 1 year with the special needs ministry and 4 seasons with Operation Christmas Child.

Central United Calgary – a few Inn from the cold shifts

Being introduced to FAC and feeling like I truly belong there and am welcomed

The soul care and so-journey programs at FAC (working together with Anne Freeman)

My Psychology training and education

My tramatic childhood and divorces which caused me to have to rely on Christ and to explore myself and my purpose more.

Needing to let go of some of my old, unhealthy friends and making room for new ones who are more like minded and healthy

Not setting boundaries and allowing myself to be exposed to a very toxic work environment until I could barely function, along with dealing with injuries and concussions from car accidents and work
