Personally, I believe that my meaning and purpose here on earth is to use my strengths to show others the love of Christ. In order to do that, God has blessed me with passions as well as strengths. I am able to use baseball to reach other peers in order to love them and in result, tell them about Christ. As well as baseball, I have a strong passion for ministry. I love the local church and incorporating myself in the leadership of the youth group. I believe that both my strengths and passions give me practical meaning and purpose that I can use to glorify God and serve

    The five greatest strengths shown to me by the Strengthsfinder Survey were Consistency, Belief, Responsibility, Developer, and Relator. I chose a life of Civil Service, in the Military and now as a Police Officer.

I utilize Consistency on a daily basis as a Police Officer. I wholeheartedly believe each individual has the right to be treated fairly and on equal ground to anyone else regardless of social, economic or criminal justice standings.…
