[H]eart

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

2. I have passion in my heart for people that live unhealthy lives. When I can give people tips on how to be healthier, or when I can assist them in any way regarding their health, I love it.

3. When I express creativity in my logical way of thinking and then apply that to different strategies, and watch them thrive.

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

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

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

My parents did an amazing job of raising us in a household dependent on the Lord. I was born into a great atmosphere and God gripped my heart at a young age, always curious to know more about how to live my life as Christian. I truly understood what faith meant when it was time to decide if I would go through with baptism-I didn’t feel confident in my faith at the time (6th grade) to do it. But by the beginning of high school, I knew God wanted me to live my life for him and I surrounded myself with people on the same mission.

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

I have been serving at NorthRidge Church in Plymouth, MI since 2010. Child Care, Kid’s Ministry, Middle School Ministry, Garden Care.

SpringHill Camps. Evart, MI. Camp counselor.

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

The time and effort given to cultivating a relationship with my middle brother.

Learning to step into boldness and make new relationships.

Mission trip in high school with leaders that had a huge influence on me.

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:

Sexual experiences as a young child.

Extreme pride and anger issues.

My parents lack of structure.
