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

1. Hospitality

2. doing tasks for others so they feel special.

3. Jumping into holes in church programs so they can function.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

youth, kids, adults in that order.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

I feel like we dont do a good job on follow up from programs as we should. I think we try to pack too much information into short periods of time, and I think we should slow down. We shouldnt be in a rush to get so much packed into small time frames. It good to discuss God’s word, and have the time to go through it slowly, to make sure its understood.

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

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

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I became a Christian in high school through my involvement in Church youth group, and young life.

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

Faith Baptist, Princeton, TX 3 years- Nursery ministry, youth ministry, women’s ministry, safety team, greeting.

Hunters Glen Baptist church, Plano, TX 3 years, 1st/2nd grade sunday school teacher

First Baptist Church, Las Cruces NM 5 years- 5th grade sunday school teacher. Youth intern.

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

Being involved in Young Life- It was a life changing experience.

Being the youth intern, it was wonderful to work with youth, and make an impact because I was in college, and was relatable.

Being in leadership roles in general.

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:

relying on people to fill my cup instead of God.

Being too involved that I burn out.

Serving in poorly organized ministries.

Wrapping It Up

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. To have a hospitality ministry that is effective in bringing community together.

4. To have the financial ability to help people big, like getting them cars, or paying medical bills.

5. Having a large budget to do more programs for the youth.
