I’m not sure. But I always try to point out to others that they were made by God and that He can’t wait when they decide to meet Him.

[H]eart

1. I absolutely love reading and talking about bible… In each verse so much treasure hidden. I live comparing it to our every day life. I believe that it’s full of undiscovered mysteries .

2. I love reminding people in their dark moments that they are not alone. Love to see that light of hope in their eyes. Love to remind those that were forgotten by everyone that God has never forgotten them. I believe that it’s the best feeling in the world when you light up someone’s hope.

3. I love spiritual world and all the gifts that come with it. I’ve been in contact with it since child and could never stop thinking about it and lately that fire is burning stronger.

I like to work with young people and old. Specially those who has this fire in them that ask questions that nobody has answer too cuz I’m one of those –

I’m concerned that people don’t talk much about spiritual gifts and rely more on organizing than on Holly Spirit. That lots if people that have potential don’t get recognized and can’t reach their potential.

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 was born into Christian family but I lived in religion. I saw as a child doublefaced Christianity and thought that I didn’t want nothing to do with God of those people. And even though I lived like sinner I fell like God was filling me around everywhere I go. And I tried everything to find satisfaction even drugs… and I was so broken … literally… went to rehab and begin to serve others. I was in leader and felt how much God loved others throughout me and than I knew that Someone Who loves like that is the one I was looking for all my life… I was on and off to different churches all my life but I’ve always were treated bad by leaders.. I asked wrong questions I guess. I challenged them… God answered all my questions now… But I know that church is my family… God is my Father.. Can’t wait to See Him.

I served in Rehab WA for one year. And one year in Philadelphia. I’ve sing in church worship for 3 years.

I’ve experienced personally Gods presence in the way I cannot explain.

After I’ve lost everything He gave me more than I’ve ever dreamed of.

I went up preaching few times and the way it felt was something that I can explain. It was just such a pleasure I don’t believe I’ve ever had that anywhere. Just love sharing my view of God.

I got broken by leaders in church., in the past.

I was addicted to drugs and lost everything.

I think I went through everything a person can go in this life… I was married few times and went through divorce.
