1. Do for others. (whether stopping to pick something up or helping with chores) I show my love my doing small or big gestures that I know would help that individual greatly.

2. Making others smile. I feel as though I am a bubbly and positive person. I am also an extravert. Thus, talking to others and putting a smile on their face makes me happy.

I think I work well with several ages and types of people. People my age as well as older people that I work with at my job. Lastly- kids, I have a lot of experience with kids and I really enjoy them.

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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

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

[E]xperience

I became a Christian when I was eight years old. I have been raised by two God-fearing parents, making my decision to become a believer very easy. I, however, believe that my faith did not become real until high school when I was enrolled into a church class called Culture Shock. The instructor of the course provided great insight on the gospel and compelling opinions to today’s society; he also offered me a book by John Piper that was a little over my head, but worth it. These two together made me into who I am as a believer today.

Hanover Missionary Baptist Church in Hanover WV (all of my life until college)

Currently serving at Bible Center- Charleston WV (September 2017- today)
