[H]eart

1. Work with kids in anyway.

2. Help people.

3. Be around people that I hold close to my heart.

I love working with people that I know well or complete strangers. Most of the time I prefer to work within 5 or 10 years of my age.

I really love mission work even though I have never been on one.

Parenting
At-risk children
Other – Stereotypes

[A]bilities

I’m not exactly sure what it is but for a while I wanted to go into the military to be a rescue pilot. The other option during that time was to be a mental nurse at a military school. But after learning I will not be able to go into the military I want to study physcology i’m just not sure why.

I have experience working as a cashier, cook, and maintenance at a deli. I also have experience with babysitting and dog sitting. I have also taken a public safety course and a culinary class. In the public safety course I was cpr certified but I have to do it again now.

I can sing and even though my mom doesn’t exactly enjoy it I attract people who have had a pretty bad hand in life. Something else would be that I can draw decently well which helps because I get pictures stuck in my head kinda like how you get a song stuck.

I have only taught groups for children’s church.

I feel that my most valuable asset would be my ability to just hear what someone has to say. When I was younger I used to be able to tell if someone had a dirty heart but now it’s very hard for me. So that used to be my best asset.

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

The first time I can remember becoming a christian was when we were still in South Carolina. We were a part of a pentecostal church and the girls were dressing up as Esther for some holiday. When we went up to see the “king” they told us about how God is the real king and one of the group leaders told us that God is also our forever father. I didn’t know what it was like to have a real dad so I gave my life to him so I could still have a dad.

A while back I worked with Jeralyn ministries as an usher or whatever they needed me to do. They were in the Palm Coast area and I was incharge of worship the more we got involved. My family and myself served there for maybe 2 years.

The first one would be meeting my best friend. She taught me that it’s ok to be open with people and how to step outside of my comfort zone. She also showed me that you can be loved in so many different ways then what you see on tv.

I’m not sure what else there is that helped.

The first one would definitely be growing up with my dad being around for maybe a week every 2-3 years. Even though this is something I am still trying to work through it helped me have a deeper compassion for people in similar situations. Out of all of my friends maybe 2 or 3 of them have both of their parents living with them. So with this experience it helped me to be able to share the joy and the pain with the people I hold close and it also helped me to open up my friends eyes who have both parents living with them.

The second thing would be growing up without a voice. Even though I can talk I was taught to hold my tongue and just listen even when I needed to say something. I have had some very hurtful things happen from this but at the same time it helps because i’m only thinking of the next thing for me to say. I get to actually hear what someone is saying and it has helped a lot over the years.

The final thing would be my ex from 7th grade. Although I have so many good memories from the relationship it was poisonous to my life. He was the second guy I dated that actually stayed loyal to me during the whole relationship but he was verbally abusive to me and some other stuff too. It has helped me have a better understanding as to what people deal with and how to reach a wider variety of people. It has also helped me to answer the question as to why people don’t always leave the relationship. I know from personal experience that I believed everything he did was because he loved me and I was blind as to how much it was actually hurting me. So I feel like I understand how people feel during the relationship and maybe how to help them.
