This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I believe I have this gift because I like to share ideas and thoughts that make people think and by sharing the Gospel I am encouraging the other person(s) to steer their life(lives) towards a positive direction and lifestyle and what is greater than that.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I do know for sure I have this gift because I have always loved seeing other people happy and with my testimony from where I was I don’t wish for anyone else to feel or be in the position I’ve been in so if I can help lift someone up I will.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I have this gift because the best teachers are continuous learners, I love to spread what I know and then dive back for more and if I find something new I like to pass that on. Especially when it’s the truth. I like to share ideas and thoughts and I’m a bit of an out of the box thinker so I can provide a new perspective on things at times and help other understand something through examples or making it simple.

1. Gardening

2. Art (Drawing and Music)

3. Cooking

I’m compassionate and laid back so I really tend to get along with all people of different backgrounds young and old also but have a hard time getting along with narcissist. I believe because we have opposite characteristics so naturally there is friction but more on their part. I suppose I love working with all people in general since I’m empathetic and humble.

Exciting; building the new church, new ministries/groups that will follow that, love thy Neighbor, the need for worship members/musicians, how the youth are directly involved,
Concerning; an extra 5-10 minutes between services to prepare and to be in less of a rush, at the new church possibly having a school/classes?, At the new church having a room outside the church for public access 24/7 to come and sit in or pray in and have a moment in the lords house even when the church is closed.,

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

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

[E]xperience

Okay I grew up with my parents coming from Catholic background but both on their own strayed away for their own reasons but also from the same cause. Because it was cold, condemning, harsh and forceful. That is important because God and Jesus were still talked about but only very little casually. As I grew up I was bullied alot and struggled with mental health and addiction and always looked for an escape or relief. In my early teen years I had some close family members pass away and started questioning about death and what is life. I looked into religion and spirituality, because God and Jesus were talked about even that little bit growing up, I may have been agnostic, but I still couldn’t deny that there was a God, so I leaned to Buddhism and became a follower of Buddha until my late teen years I fell away from that and got more into spiritualism and paganism, until I broke down because I was so lost and confused and in such a pit of darkness and then my older brother passed away. Then I just begged God if he was real to deliver me from my wretched life and free me from the suffering and addiction because if not I was going to end up in the same position as my brother. I asked for two specific things other than deliverance and being free from my past and the following year after my brothers passing I was continuously hit with learning how to love myself and how to hold myself up and being pulled to Christianity but also becoming aware that it isn’t just religion there is a spiritual side of Christianity. Year two both of the things I asked for came into manifestation and I couldn’t be more blessed. As I lean more to God for my life I prayed for my family and I have now been baptized and now year 3 my family is starting to come to Christ as well. This is why I believe because the Lord flipped my life around.

I have not belonged to any church prior to Sand Springs.

Moving to a new state to get a restart/refresh on my environment (twice)

Beating addiction and staying sober

Being bullied throughout school, I learned to stand up not only for myself but any other who couldn’t or wouldn’t stand up for themselves

Deaths of multiple family members, I’ve learned to be tender hearted for those who are soft/broken hearted
