This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
The Lord has given me a call to ministry in an undetermined pathway, in order to educated people about the Bible and lead them to Christ. I strongly enjoy deeply studying my Bible and the context, culture, and definitions of unknown words in order to understand the Word of God more. I enjoy relaying the information that I have learned to others.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have a strong call in my life to share the Gospel. The Lord has saved me, and He wants to save His other children from an eternity without Him. He has given me a call to continue to grow and be bold, despite anxiety and fears of my flesh, to share the Gospel through my actions and words with others. An example of this is my social media content and growth in order to spread His word in what can be one of the darkest places: the internet.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love people; I always have. Even after being saved, I am in awe of God’s love for me, so much so that my brain cannot comprehend it. When I see others struggling, it just makes me heartbroken for God’s children. I am very excited to continue to grow with God….not for my selfish salvation, but to share the Gospel with others in ways that I never thought I could due to fear.

[H]eart

1. Spending time with the Lord. Currently, I have been consistently waking up and spending time in His word. Throughout the day, I am so in awe of God’s love and grateful for Him saving me. It requires a response; All I wish to do is give my life to Him and worship Him.

2. I truly enjoy feeling comfortable, with the Lord in something He has for me in what is uncomfortable for my flesh. Every day, I surrender myself to the Lord and try my best to pick up my cross daily. I find so much joy in taking bold steps that the Lord has put in my heart. I love showing people the love of Jesus, starting a bible club, enhancing my Christian content creating on social media, and more, despite my flesh….all for the Lord.

3. Sebastian. I don’t know where to start. We started dating when we both were did not know the love of the Lord for ourselves. We have sinned against God and struggle with desires of the flesh that are meant for marriage. Recently, me and Sebastian, in full surrender to the Lord, felt Him speaking to us. We both felt the Lord telling us that if we continued to live in the sin and lukewarm state of following Him, we wouldn’t be together much longer. This was an awakening that lit a fire under me and Sebastian’s butts, and we have been seeking the Lord together and separately like never before. In conclusion, I am grateful for my Man of God. He is my best friend, my favorite prayer partner, and car worship session buddy. Thank you, Jesus.

From what I have learned about myself so far, I enjoy working with all of God’s children. Specifically, I enjoy care for the elderly and bringing joy into their days through my care for them in healthcare, as well as children, teenager, and I would love to explore missionary work and helping the less fortunate and sharing Jesus with them.

Things that excite me the most are travel/missionary work, becoming ordained in the church and sharing the Gospel, and following the Lord wherever He leads me and my family.

Marriage/family issues

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

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

I was raised in church and introduced to God at a very young age through loving family members and faithful teachers, including my grandmas. While I was baptized at 9, I didn’t fully understand what it meant to have a personal relationship with Jesus. As I grew older, especially in middle and early high school, I battled severe anxiety and often drifted away from pursuing God. I was stuck in cycles of guilt, shame, and confusion until the summer before my junior year, when I hit an emotional and spiritual low. One night, after a breakdown on a call with my boyfriend, I admitted out loud, “I need Jesus.” That moment sparked change. Days later, at a church service focused on the call to ministry, I had a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit and clearly heard God calling me to full-time ministry. Since then, I’ve recommitted my life to Christ, been rebaptized, received my local minister’s license, and I am learning to walk in faith, surrender, and obedience—giving my burdens to Him and trusting His plan over mine.
