This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I believe that everyone deserves a second chance to better themselves. God gives us an unlimited amount of chances until our last breath. Why should we not return that same favor to MAN?

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I know what it’s like to feel depressed, unloved, not wanted. Even in my worst moments, I will always encourage and be there for anyone. Even if no one will do that for me.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’ve always been a giver. I love helping, making people’s lives a little bit better, a little less stressful, if I can take a away someone’s burdens it fills my heart with joy!

1. Being a mother

2. Being a hairstylist. Which is more than just doing hair. We’re couselors. Listeners. Shoulders to cry on. & most importantly I love that my clients walk out feeling better about themselves before they came in

3. Being a friend

I don’t have a preference, I can get along with everyone!

I love when a church invests in the young. Because that’s where our future lies. The congregation is important and needs to be fed, but it’s so important that the young learn and really understand the Bible and what it means.

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

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

[E]xperience

I was young, in children’s church and I remember how excited I was about God and how on fire I was. I remember standing in the hallways with Sue Suggs and I asked her what I had to do to be saved and she parlayed with me. I will remember that for the rest of my life.

My Bestfriend is on of the biggest influences on me. She talks to me about God, all the time. When I’m in my lowest points, she reminds me of how big god is and how small the problem is. She has impacted my life in ways she’ll nevertheless understand but God knew what he was doing when he placed her in my life.

Getting involved in church was a impact on my life. At such a early age I was always excited to go to church and learn about God, and worship! Praise and worship has always been my favorite. Still to this day there are things I was taught in kids church that I carry with me today.

Church camp is another great impact on my life. For 3 summers I spent a few weeks at summer camp. We had service every night, and the friendships that I have made have lasted a life time. The things I learned have stuck with me. & the life long messages they taught us have helped shape me into the woman I am now.

My parents divorced at a young age. I seen a lot of things at 10. Selfishness. Depression. Pain. But also, I seen love, passion and selflessness. I took a bad situation and didn’t allow it to make me break down, instead this is where I learned that even when things are going wrong, someone else could have it worse and not matter what, always be there for someone even if you have no one.

2 of my Relationships have been tough. Being betrayed, cheated on, verbally abused. I have always been the one who gives until I can give no more even when someone isn’t deserving of what I give. & although I may fall, I do not break because I know the value within myself. I will not change who I am, I’m a lover of everyone.

I was raped at a young age. I was a virgin. I had some medical issues after that, that was thankfully something I didn’t have to live with the rest of my life. After that, some years had went on and that guy had a child with a rare disease and was told he will never have children that would survive and his child passed away after living her few short months in the hospital . In that moment I felt pain and grief for him because at one time I cared for this man. I reached out to him, I forgave him, & I sent my condolences to him and his wife. Though what he done to me was wrong, he payed for it, and if I had not forgave him I would have carried that around for the rest of me life.
