This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel that I can relate to kids. I don’t want kids to go through the struggle that I went through. And if they are going through what I went through right now. I want to teach them how I handle it. And I want to let them know that God is never going to leave them. He will always love them and be there even when they feel like he’s not there. I want them to know that the struggle is real and that satan will use these struggles and try and to make you weak but God will use these struggles can be turned into something beautiful!!

[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Things that make me happy and feel closer to God is sing and play piano. Ever since I was a little girl I can always remember sitting down at my grandmothers piano and singing with my grandpa!! We did this every moment we could till he passed away in 2005!! When we did this nothing else in the world mattered l!! I never understood that feeling till I became older and a follower of God. Now when I sit down and a piano and sing nothing else matters besides God and giving him all the glory!! Every time I worship him it’s just me and him in the room!! It’s the best feeling in the world!!

2. The second thing that I like to do is spending time with people that I love and care about the most and with people that care and love me!! This is important to me because ever since my grandpa died I would always feel alone and like no care about me!! Just in the last couple of years this has changed I have found who really has my back and “my people ” the people that I care and love the most the people i call family!! Who said family had to be blood related? 🤷🏻‍♀️

3. The last thing I like to do is to make other people happy loving others!! People have always told me that I have a big heart!! I’m that type of person that no matter what is going on in my life I always wanted to show my love for others and to make them feel special!!

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I feel that I work good with all types of people (I really don’t know )

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

Sometimes I feel like my opinion or ideas don’t matter!! If we are going to be real and honest!!!

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born August 16th 1996!! 🙀 I grew up in a not so kid friendly area. I grew up in the Catholic Church. In jr high I had my life threatened by someone. I was made fun of my entire life and from there I never was able to trust people. Shorty after that I found out that I have a learning disability. When I went to high school that’s when my addiction happened my depression started and I got into a relationship that was not good. I was sexually and physically abused by my boyfriend at the time and someone who was in my family. This made believing in God hard for me I felt alone and like no one cared about me!!! By the time I was a Jr in high school life was like a roller coaster life went up and down!! But then I started going to Refuge and I found people who understand what I was going for me and I decided to follow God when I was a JR in high school and I love every second that I get to walk with him!!
