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.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I became a christian in the church when I was 10. In college I did not attend church, then when I settled down with a family and matured a bit, I re-emerged into a christian community.

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

As an adult … Spring Hill

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

Serving others in church related programs has provided me personal perspective and humility

Development of my adult, christian based, positive, honest, caring self through prayer and biblical study

Discerning life through study and prayer and discussion

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:

Physical set backs at times due to illness has provided some perspective for others with chronic physical disabilities

Familial wrongs has provided compassion for people that can at times make poor choices in life. I am better able to forgive people.
