I am also fufilled when I am around other believers who follow Christ. It’s comforting.

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
When my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, I was able to spend the last 3 months of his life here with him. Everyday he lived like it was just another day, nothing changed, it didn’t seem like anything was wrong with him. He was so active. We started going to church. I could see the peace and comfort in his eyes. A week before he died, he said some things that just weren’t humanly possible to know. Dates and times from my dad’s passing all pointed to the day and time my son was born. It wasn’t till after he passed that I had time think. And everything I thought about, led me to God. I couldn’t stop talking about it. It was just undeniable! Then, shortly after my dad’s side of the family and his wife started to cast lies at my sister and myself. They told us to leave and never come back. I felt, if I don’t have my family, who do I have? I thought I lost absolutely everything, my dad, my family. I even thought what’s the point anymore. I kept thinking about my dad and the grace he recieved from God, through Jesus so I opened a bible. And I found that yes, I lost my dad and my family but I found and gained everything through Christ and God’s word. Thank you Jesus! I had peace and understanding of why some people behave the way they do and I am not their judge. So, I pray that they find the narrow path that they strayed from.
Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):
List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:
Having a child.
Taking years for myself to learn who I am and think about the people I’ve hurt through my trials and tribulations in my life choices.
Beating an addiction to drugs and alcohol.
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:
Growing up in a house with an abusive achololic parent.

My sex, alcohol and drug addiction.
