This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love to help others understand things. I do not always understand everything and I love when I get help and the lightbulb comes on. If I can do this for others and make sure they understand, it is worth it.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
There are so many people out in the world who have never even heard the name of Jesus, and then there are those who knowingly make the decision to deny Christ. I just think that we need to give the lost people a chance to be saved, when there are so many deliberately denying being saved.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have grown up very blessed, with family and friends who support me. I truly believe that is why I have made the decisions I have. There are people in this world that did not have a support system at all and just need to be shown that someone cares for them and that they have someone to fall back onto if they try to walk and stumble every now and then.

[H]eart

1. I love to paint, read or anything that has to do with using my brain and hands together.

2. I love to dance and sing with my friends and family.

3. I love to cook with my friends and mom.

I love outgoing and talkative people. The age does not particularly matter to me.

The children’s ministry in the churches excites me so much. I yearn to be an elementary teacher one day, they need all of the positive influences they can get growing up in the world we live in today.

[A]bilities

I long to be an elementary teacher.

I have been a nanny, teacher’s aide, Resident Assistant and a peer leader for the office of student leadership and engagement.

I am very skilled with communication. I am able to talk and communicate with most people very well, and without difficulties.

I have taught a few different classes. One was about how to get and stay engaged in something. Another was about how to approach someone you are not sure you have anything to relate on.

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

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

[E]xperience

I have always gone to church, but with my dad being in the military we were never in the same place for long. It was not really until my junior and senior year of highschool that I really started to become strong in my faith. Multiple family things had to happen before I could see that I needed someone to lean on for support that was not my family or friends. I honestly did not think that they could relate to what I was going through. I started to really dive in to my bible and found peace in knowing that everything I was going through Jesus had already went through and it was worse for Him.

Puerto Rico Mission Trip through First Baptist Portales for two weeks

Children’s Ministry at Living Water Canyon, Tx for about 5 months

Finding my college friends that support me through everything. Us creating our own bible study is also a huge plus.

Being able to lead a freshman girl’s bible study with one of my best friends.
