[H]eart

1. Socialize with positive people to accomplish something that will make this world a better place and to change lives for the better.

2. Putting a smile on someone’s face by encouraging them, listening to them and giving them hope to live a better life.

3. Bring joy to the lives of others by being able to help someone in need either financially or emotionally

I like working with all ages and types of people.

Community service and outreach is an area of ministry that I have a great interest in. Being out in the community and letting people know that the church is not just a building and that we are people who love God and love them and are there to help.

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 daughter went to be with the lord in April 2000. The loss of my daughter led me on a journey to seek answers and comfort for my pain. After a year of searching, I was invited to attend a local church and that is where I became a Christian.

My Mom is a double amputee and has been disabled since she was 18 years old. My mom did not allow her disability stop her from living life. My father is the greatest support for my mom. I have never seen someone have so much patience and show so much compassion for another person in my entire life. My moms determination and my dad’s patience has made a huge impact on who I am and why I am. My mom’s determination to not allow her circumstances define who she is, made a lasting impression on me and my sister. My parents are the reason I press on …….
