[A]bilities

I’m currently a single, stay-at-home mother. I attend college full time pursuing a double bachelor’s in History and English. My career goal is to become an educator.

Wait staff, line-cook, customer service, bakery/cake decorator, administrative assistant, housekeeping/lawn maintenance/landscaping.

Beyond being drawn to the down trodden, I have always had a love for the arts. I enjoy painting, sketching, singing/song writing and other forms of writing, (poems, paperwork, flyers, announcements, journaling, etc.).

I have not taught an official class at any point, but I have taught my children at home and have also lead them in bible study almost nightly since rededicating my life to Christ.

My heart. I am very compassionate and open-minded.

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

Long story short, although I attended a Baptist church with my grandmother as a child, I ran from Christ for 20 years, even to the point of completely denying Him and pursuing Wicca/Paganism as a religion. I came to Christ after deciding that I needed to expose my youngest child to structured religion so he would have that cultural experience. (My older two children had someone who came and picked them up for church and took them, but no one had offered to do that with my youngest, so I felt the need to take that into my own hands). We tried a couple different churches, and then we decided to go to North Point where my oldest son attends with his stepmother and her family. God spoke to me there and I have not missed a Sunday yet, except one due to flu.

I have not served anywhere, to date.
