[H]eart

1. Read His Word

2. Make Art for other people to minister God’s Word

3. Helping the homeless or people in need to see His perfect love!

I love to work with kids because I find their heart is more open to His love. The ages between infancy up to young adults. But I don’t have a problem with working with older people at all.

What concerns me the most is the way we look at Jesus. I want to show and tell people that falling in love with Jesus isn’t religious. What excites me is to help people who are broken and abused back to the love of Christ. I really love counseling other people not only with His word, but with my experiences.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

At the age of sixteen years old I remember standing at the door of my room crying. I was bullied and didn’t have any friends at that time in middle school. I remember feeling so sad and helpless at that moment. I immediately fell to the ground sobbing in tears as if someone had died in my family. And all of a sudden I heard a small voice in my head say, “Happiness is a choice.” I stopped for a second and thought about what I heard. No one had ever told me that happiness was a choice. So, from there I got up and went to my mom. I told her that I needed help because of my depression. She was hesitant at first but I was admitted into a mental hospital for a whole week. While I was there I experienced seeing demons walking through the hallways trying to terrorize me. In those moments I would scream and a crowd of people would surround me helpless to calm me down. At the time I didn’t understand why I was seeing those demons. This went on for a couple of days until Halloween. That night I remember looking down at my roommates shoes for some reason. When I look up this green smoke appeared before me. It had a Mardi Gras face of happiness and sadness. This demons was trying to pull off my covers and touch me. I remember laughing and saying, “ is this a joke.” But the fear swept in as I realized what I was seeing was real. I ask my roommate Jordan if she could see them, but she said no. So, I tried to ignore it and lay down and try to fall asleep. Every time I tried to close my eyes the word Satan kept coming to my mind. And the demons were punching my pillow trying to get me to wake up. So I sat up in my bed and somehow I knew to say, “In Jesus name get out.” I kept saying Jesus and the battle just got more intense. When I looked at the ceiling it felt like it was going to cave in on me. And when I looked at the floor it was swirling around. So, I pulled the courage to count to three and run out of there as fast as I can. I went into the living room to eat a snack. I asked the nurse if I could have some sleeping pills and in total I had about 6 that night. The lady told me to go back to my room and I said, “ if you knew what was in there you wouldn’t be telling me to go back there.” I walked back to my room and spiritually I saw three pitch forks engraved on the door!! And the number 666 on top of the pitch forks!! I started panicking which lead me to scream and wail. Everyone at that point came out of their rooms. This girl I knew could also see with her spiritual eyes there. She saw the same thing and we both started freaking out. The nurse had to break up the commotion and forced me to go back in my room. As soon as I stepped in above be was a fog of darkness. It felt so eerie in the room but I ran back to my bed out of fear. A day before Halloween my Sunday school teacher gave me a Bible. I remember thinking, “what am I going to do with a Bible I don’t read.” A voice in my head told me pick up your Bible. And so I did!! I opened it and started read the words of the page. I battled with those demons the whole entire night until I had to go to breakfast. When I came back to my surprise my Pastor came to see me. He told me the Lord told him to come and see me. But no one could get in without the password and we never told anyone. The password was Dutch my dog and I was amazed. We were in my room and I told him what I went through last night. And all of a sudden this bright shined behind me and I could the angels singing, “ Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah about six times in a harmonic melody. I asked if he could the angels sing and he said no. I was smiling and laughing for the first time!! Three angels came down and the one on my right you could see the outline of the figure. He was tall and looked like a man because of his features. You could see through him and it was a sparkling gold translucent figure. He had a staff in his right hand, a Torah on his head with a long scarf hanging from his shoulder with a robe. I stared at him with amazement, but he didn’t say anything. He was there for protection!! The other angel was on my left just standing there and the third was behind my pastor. The third angel clapped its hands and from it formed a translucent ball and it enlarged and engulfed the whole entire room. After he left I stood up and started thanking Jesus and all of a sudden I could my heart. For the first time I felt love actually being poured into my heart. And my mind was so clear with no doubt or fear. I felt this covering for the first time in my life. I accepted Jesus Christ that day and I would like to share a verse the He showed me to prove my testimony to other people!! Angels rejoice every single time a sinner repents of their sin!! Luke 15:10, “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” I was so shocked and I’ve only told my testimony five times in my life. There are more encounters I have had with angels and demons!! But this is my testimony of God’s perfect love rescuing a sinner who knew about Him!! I love Jesus so much with my whole heart.
