[H]eart

1. Spending time with Family & Friends is very important to me.

2. I love To Worship and Pray. I enjoy getting into Intercessory Pray

3. Being involved in BSF of Bible Studies learning the History of The Bible from Biblical points of view.

To begin with I would enjoy getting involved working in the Nursery with the Infants 9 am service.

These are always inevitable but as a believer I know through Christ what’s important is working together to help smooth things over to come to an understanding, in all the years I’ve attended church issues always arise and to me it’s how the leadership team handles it shows me their character and the character of the church in owning the situation and learning from it.

[E]xperience

Growing up I was raised in a Christian background with Christianity that goes far back in my family history in Generations on both sides and having both parents who loved the Lord I came to know Christ at a young age. The like many you renew your faith later in life which I did in my early twenties and have served the Lord since, Jesus is my everything and I can’t imagine my life without him. My everyday life brings me many health challenges that I do have to rely on my faith and God has brought me through many and continues. I can’t imagine my life without walking with the Lord. God is so good and full of Grace, Mercy and Love.

I have been involved involved in almost every aspect in church ministry with growing up in the church, from being an usher in the sanctuary, county money, children’s ministry, youth group. Summer Camp ministries from grades 3rd, junior and high school youth, Youth with a mission I also worked with the staff kids and in the kitchen preparing and serving meals to large groups. I also went on Youth group mission trips as well.

Most of my experience was in the Everett, WA to Seattle area my mission youth trip was Mazatlan

My Youth With A Mission was in Maui, Hawaii and Samoa

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

• Putting Your Spouse First
• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. The Lord has been very present over the years in my life and when he’s aloud things that I’ve wanted to pass he ultimately turns it around for his glory, with his guidance he shows me his grace, mercy and love and I try to apply what happened to not do it again but grow.

4. Road blocks in my life are mostly due to my health and I’ve truly had to depend on him to carry me through and the peace I feel each time I do is what puts a smile on my face daily.

5. Gods grace in my life is all over and I am so blessed beyond measure for all he’s done and continue to do.
