[H]eart

1. I like spending time with the elderly and those that have been abandoned by friends or family

2. Befriending lonely people who don´t fit in with their peer groups

3. Volunteering my time for a better cause

Older people. They have such kind spirits and they are so happy with a little bit of company

I recently saw a video where a preacher called out a gay man that was sitting in the church pews. He told the man to leave until he can dress like a man. (The man was dressed like a woman). I thought that this was a terrible thing to do. The pastor probably humiliated the man in front of an entire congregation. I think the pastor should have spoken to the man alone after church. It really hurts me that the pastor embarrased the man this way. We have to love and accept everyone no matter who they are. I felt that the pastor was extremely arrogant, selfish, and inconsiderate with how he handled this situation.

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

After my close cousin went thru 8 years of kidney failure and dialysis, he finally got approved for kidney transplant in January 2017. I was mad at the world for a long time because my cousin has Down Syndrome. It is difficult for him to speak for himself. I couldn´t understand why God will bring this situation upon him.

Bethany Maranatha Baptist Church
10640 NW 12th Avenue
Miami, FL 33150

I have been at this church for most of my life.
I was involved with Sunday School for a while. I did the sound checks for the morning services for several years.

Being raised by strict parents. When I was younger, I did not like it. But now that I am older, I am grateful that they raised me the way they did

Growing up alongside a cousin with down syndrome helped me to be considerate of others
