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

1. Singing

2. Working hard and accomplishing something.

3. Spending time with my family.

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

Kids.

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

Sunday school for the kids in our church. I want to help get things going. It is so VERY important that our children know God’s Word!! And I’m concerned with the direction that worship has been going…more towards a concert or entertainment instead of leading the church to worship…I don’t want to complain and cause problems, but rather be part of a solution. I have not put all of my thoughts together regarding this, but I just have an unease about it…

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

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was a child when I became a Christian. It started to become my own faith in high school. Over the years I have had ups and downs with my relationship with God. Thankfully, I have never lost the desire to have a deeper relationship with Him.

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

High School- sang in Children of the Light, toured all over the area and into other states. College-sang in Common Bond, a band at St John Mennonite. Helped to lead worship on Sunday mornings at St John after college until 2012? I also played tuba in the brass ensemble there.

Volunteered in the nursery at St. John and PMC.

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

Becoming a wife.

Becoming a Mom.

Working as a nurses’ aide in the nursing home and working as a nurse in the ER.

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:

Having an aunt decide she was gay, divorce her husband, and marry a woman. Helped me to form my view, using the Bible as my compass, about homosexuality. And I’m not afraid to share about it! I love my aunt, I hate the sin that is separating her from God. I hate that she has been deceived.

Disappointment with having to have 5 c sections and the pain, emotionally and physically, of recovering from that. Has given me more compassion for those that are dealing with medical issues.

Wrapping It Up

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
