[H]eart

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

1. Art/Music

2. Reading

3. Playing with my children

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

I think if I could talk to elderly people all day I would, just to soak in their wisdom. But that is the student in me. As a leader/teacher, I think I would prefer to work with young girls, maybe teens or pre-teens. Because that was I time I really struggled with and I think I could help them.

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

Again, I think I would like to talk to young girls who are struggling, just because I can relate to them. But also, I would love to learn more about apologetics and talk to non-believers.

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Raised in a secular home, deceived by the “new age” cult from a very young age. Sexual assault victim at 18 leading to mental illness and drug addiction. Fell in love with a Christian man who gently pointed me toward Christ.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

None, Creekside is my first church.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

I had a wonderful Grandfather, who loved me unconditionally.

I made friends with Pops (Sam Gilpin). Who started as a life mentor and as I came to Christ became a spiritual mentor.

Meeting Cam and becoming a wife and mother.

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:

Deceived by the “new age” at the age of 9, and following down that path for nearly 20 years.

Victim of sexual assault at 18. Which led to mental illness and drug addiction.

Watching my grandfather, who was the closest father figure I’ve ever had, suffer from Alzheimer’s for 9 years. Watching him slowly drift away, and then losing him when I was 2,000 miles away.
