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

When I was younger, I attended the small non-denominational church. At times, I was the only one who would walk to church to hear the Word of God. I continued from Sunday School to youth group. When I was 17, my parents divorced and could not understand why something like this would happen to me. Being an angry at God, I walked away from my faith. In my young adult years, I felt that being Agnostic was the best for me while I learned of other religions to see if I felt a belonging to them. I met my husband and we decided to have children. After a year of not conceiving, I was diagnosed with PCOS. This makes it difficult and very expensive to conceive. A few years later, I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The panic attacks were almost daily and was hard to stay focused when I believed I was a failure. Later, I was diagnosed with Depression. I felt helpless. I felt lonely. I felt empty. That’s when the Holy Spirit entered in and I asked my younger sister-in-law if I could join her at church. The sermon spoke to me. At that moment in time, I felt it was specific to me. God was speaking to me. After that sermon, I knew I belonged with my Lord. He was calling me back and I answered. I have been a member of the church since November.
