[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I like to read.

2. I like to move, meaning dancing or exercise, though I don’t do it as often as I should

3. caring for others, even though sometimes it’s overwhelming and I go through seasons of just wanting solitude. Still I enjoy people.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I think working with kids and also in the women’s ministry. Working with children is so demanding, so it depends on the assignment. I love working in the Women’s ministry because I know how powerful it is when we get together and really pray and support each other. As women we are often dealing with so much and lack real support. So I see the importance of the Women’s Ministry when it done right.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

As stated above the Women’s Ministry also Christian Ed. and classes.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

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

Then when I was about to get married I wanted to start going to church and the process just started from there I wanted to keep trying to understand my life and understand God
