[H]eart

1. I enjoy talking with people, and a good conversation about real life things makes me fell fulfillment.

2. Helping someone out, whether they asked for it or not, fills me with fulfillment.

3. Spending time with someone who has been hurt, or in need of comfort is wonderful.

I enjoy working with children, like at Lowtree Community House, I get to help kids out with their school and then play with them, giving them something to be happy about in their lives where they have only one parent who isn’t always there for them.

I find helping out in worship to be exciting, especially when I can tell I have improved something to further the Kingdom of God.

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

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

I grew up in a Christian family, and accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior at age 4, got baptized at age 11, but really started following God at age 15.

I served at the Rock of Roseville, as a soundman in the kids room when I was 8 for a little more than a year.

I served at Artisan Christian Church as a slides man for 5 years starting around the age of 10.

I served at both Roseville Christian Church, age 15-16, and Crosswind Community Church, age 16-17, for one year each as a sound and slides man.

Going to Artisan Christian Church was very good to build a basic relationship with God.

I had two major discussions with my parents when I was 15 because of a sin I was dealing with, and still struggle with, and have come out with a bigger relationship with God in the process.

Having a group of guys my age who clearly follow God here at Central has been refreshing, and is being a definite help on my spiritual life.

The sin I dealt with, and still deal with, has shown me part of how the real world is, and it has helped mature me. Now I understand when someone is talking about a sin they deal with and can’t get away from.

Leaving my childhood home to move to Lancaster was both negative and positive , but having to move on from everything I knew, but still having the same God with me was amazing.

I was a horrible kid and was in trouble for most of my childhood, but it has helped me grow stronger as I move toward adulthood.
