I love to work with youth and young adults ages 15-25 who need help and encouragement overcoming life’s challenges.

Praise and Worship, audio, web presence, growing youth, and Dimension Reps are the groups that excite and concern me the most because often times these workers are responsible for the first comfort level of everyone that walks in our doors at HigherD.

Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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

[E]xperience

Like many, I was raised in church but not in Christ. As a young adult I quickly learned I needed to make better choices. After many years of spiritual bondage and brokenness I began to desperately run after God. His wisdom frees, lifts, and equips me to be sensitive and encourage many that are on a similar path.

Word of Abundant Life Christian Center under the late Bishop Robinson in Phoenix, Arizona, served as Praise and Worship Team member and youth ministries 2011-2015 (Now known as Covenant City Church, Pastors Patrick and Sharonda Mayes).

Rhema Christian Center under Bishop Steele, Praise and Worship Team Leader and youth ministries assistant 2005-2011.

Experiencing the true love of God through His people helped me to recognize and escape abuse.

As a relocating military member I have spent lots of time alone which has given great value in unity, connecting, communicating, completing tasks and goals. Jesus chose 12.

Watching my youth groups grow into making better decisions by giving their lives to Christ. They began to speak out and recognize tricks and traps of the enemy by focusing on truth and freedom in God.

After 28 years of feeling awkwardly different from my older sisters, a family secret unfolded that should have devasted me but God directed my sight to focus on gratefulness which has been the glue of my relationship with my parents and siblings.

Sad troubles in leadership left huge voids in multiple areas of ministry. Unable to watch it crumble, myself and family began to fill our way around and discovered gifts and talents that ultimately lead people to Christ while covering leadership. This was one of the most challenging times because we had little to no help … but God. He is sovereign.

Financial hardship pushed me to a place where I had nothing to lose by relocating to Houston with $25 in my account. Now I currently reside in the Medical Center Area, with 2 daughters in college and my only son pursuing his Real Estate License.
