[H]eart

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

1. Music. Since I was a kid, I feel like I’ve felt music on a deeper level than most. It helps me express my feelings in a way that words usually cannot. I sing, songwrite, play guitar, and play a little piano. It brings a lot of joy to me because when I’m upset or frustrated, I go to music. It brings me fulfillment because I feel accomplished when I achieve something like hitting a note or writing a good song. I wish I could have a music career.

2. Another thing that brings me joy is sleeping. When I am asleep, any pain that I feel or things that give me anxiety go away. Instead, I am surrounded by good thoughts, memories, and visions. Sometimes, my dreams are Holy, and I feel good when I wake up. It brings me fulfillment because I feel optimistic after I sleep.

3. I also love to write poetry. When I write poetry, I know no one will see it, so I feel like I can write everything on paper. I can express my monsters and injustices, and also write about the things that bring me joy.

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

I love to work with toddlers. They don’t feel anxiety or sadness, and they are honest about everything.

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

I don’t like how judgmental people in the church are. Most sins have an equal value and God calls us to love each other no matter what.

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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
