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

I was raised in a Christian home and became a christian at a young age. I have always chosen to follow Christ. I remember accepting Christ into my life on the kitchen floor with my mom and was baptized after doing that. My parents were in ministry and I guess I just loved it more than I thought.

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

First Baptist Moore
Mothers day out and their foster care program

NorthHaven
Mothers day out teacher

Journey Church
Served in longer kids with my husband for several years before having our own kids.
preschool coordinator
mothers day out coordinator

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

Teaching to love each child for who God says they are but also being able to teach respect and a good foundation

Teaching me to be able to take knowledge and give it to God. Allowing myself to not wear everything that I hear

Seeing leaders continue to seek God’s plan even when they don’t understand

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:

Seeing the power that some have over others responsibilities and asks on the individual. This taught me about how to continue to lead in an honoring way.

When the devil gets in and there isn’t a plan to get the focus change it back. (Intervention)
