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 raised in a Christian home and saved at 7.

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

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

Living in Seattle and being very lonely, I made a friend with an elderly man on the bus. I think I may have been used to bring him to Christ.

In Germany, I almost lost my baby. In the time I spent in the hospital, I poured through my Bible marking verses and I’ve never felt closer to God

While living in Florida, I finally made friends and found that despite our vast differences in upbringing and cultures, I loved them like family.

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:

My husband left me for a time when our children were little. He met someone else. I shared this with my church friends and found that many were having marital difficulties. When I forgave him and took him back, I found opportunities to help others in similar situations.

I struggle greatly with depression so I feel compelled to help those in the depths of the darkness.

I have little confidence as a mother so I feel drawn to other moms who are down on themselves. I want to lift them up because I know how much it hurts.
