This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

1. Encouraging everyone that is in my sphere of influence

2. Loving those others pay no attention to or those who are difficult to love

Age does not seem to matter at all to me
I enjoy working with encouraging humble people who love The Lord as much as I do

My role in bringing up leaders. I have not found I have been very successful in this area yet.
I wish our church had more one on one intentional discipleship programs because that has been so important in my walk the last 2 years. I wish more people knew how incredibly powerful it is!

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

My life came completely undone in my late 20’s early 30’s and God made himself real to me. The last 5 years I committed to follow him and excepted training by The Holy Spirit. Grace got ahold of me a couple of years ago and that changed everything.

North Coast Church San Marcos CA
Kids ministry 5 years, 1 year as a staff member
Women’s ministry 2- 3 years Bible Study Group Leader

Testimony from Group leaders on an addiction issue I was struggling with that they had been set free from by Grace. I gave my testimony and they accepted me with loving arms. We are sisters.

Discipleship from the most humble leader I know. It has helped me stay focused and grounded. If I’m straying off or have a blind spot that needs to be reveled I trust The Holy Spirit guides my counselor to address me in love and the truth.

Taking a women’s ministry leadership role in spite of fear and insecurities. I depend on The Holy Spirit more than my abilities to lead and he has never failed me. This has increased my ability to Trust Him and not my own strength which has been such an amazing gift

Being involved in a very small church when I first believed in Jesus where they were not living in love and peace. They were all against each other and was an example to me of what the church should not be. When I came to North Coast years later as soon as I walked in and got to know people I knew I was home. This church looks and operates like what The Bible describes.

Shame and anyone living in shame is the cry of my heart. I lived in shame and fear that was crippling. God’s grace and his people changed all of that. I want others to know there really is freedom from anything and everything they have ever done or what has been done to them

I came from a very dysfunctional background and carried it with me. Because there was no peace anywhere in my life I have a huge desire to be a peacemaker. To bring peace in a hostile toxic environment for the sake of The Kingdom is so important to me.
