[H]eart

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

1. Serving/volunteering for the needy, homeless, and children

2. Worshipping in larger groups.

3. Sharing and conversing about complicated questions in scripture

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

honestly anyone OTHER THAN the ages of 10-23.

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

Concerns: when a church speaks NON-biblical truth, uses translations of the Bible inaccurately to serve their own purpose, and churches worried more about quantity of a church population vs. the quality of believers.

Passions: ministries that are meant to just meet people where they are and not serving but teaching them to help themselves. Sharing why Christ is so powerful and pertinent in my life! and learning new biblical truths.

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
