[H]eart
1. I love worship music and have to listen to it most of my day. God speaks loudly to me through music.
2. I love being surrounded by nature and taking lots of pictures of it, but I get frustrated when I cannot capture exactly what I am seeing. I love to look for natural heart shapes in nature, it’s like God is sending his love to me through them.
3. I enjoying doing crafty things and drawing.
Friends/people I’m close with and my kids.
I would love to help out behind the scenes, especially if there are things I can do at home. Ministries that get my attention the most have to do with human trafficking, but I’m not sure yet what roll God wants me to play in it.

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
Extreme tragedy lead us to a new church which lead me to surrendering to Jesus and then leading my family to surrendering as well.
Walnut Hill Community Church, Bethel, CT – children’s ministry – helping teachers during preschool classes, snack server during VBS.
Newtown Congregational Church, Newtown, CT – for half a year I lead a 1st grade Sunday school class, but felt pressured to do it.
I often felt like I didn’t know enough, or was given enough instruction to be leading anyone and had a hard time being assertive enough to keep the kids focused.

2. My Relationship with Others
