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.

Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My mother took me to church, VBS, after school church program. Always felt connected to Christ. Had a vision as teenager that brought me closer to Christ. Felt a void as young adult. Began seeking Christ through bible study and church to grow my relationship with God. Was Baptized when my children were very young as an outward expression of my faith

Owensboro Christian Church, Owensboro, KY; VBS helper; taught Kindergarten Sunday School 1 yr; helped in nursery x 2 years

My mother’s dedication in taking me to church as a child, and enjoying it

Being a wife and mother

Serving people in the medical community

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:
