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

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

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 brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Recognized God was my only hope and I needed to choose Him for myself, not just go to church

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

18 years in youth ministry as a small group leader

4 years in Czech teaching ESL in youth summer camps for 2 weeks each summer

Youth Pastor’s Admin Assistant for 5 years in large church

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

husband’s family accepted me into their family as one of their own.

Mother was always giving, caring and helping others and encouraged me.

Teenagers in and out of our home for many years, sharing food, problems and fun

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:

Abusive unloving and unproviding father

Judgemental, uncaring church during childhood and teen years

Death of son at 20 yrs old from auto accident, and daughter at 43 years old from cancer.
