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

I grew up in the church, but I became to truly know God for myself in college. I was not focused at school my first time away from home and my mom decided to stop supporting me. I had to come back home and get myself back in school. My grades that transferred were not good enough for any type of scholarship or grant but somehow I received a grant in addition to some student loans. God made a way for me to continue my education without the support of my family, which I thought I needed.

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

Paradise Baptist Church-Praise Team

Cathedral of Faith Baptist Church- Summer Camp Counselor

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

Taking ballet/dance classes has made a big impact on who I am today. It has instilled a poise, confidence, and grace in me that most women from my background were not able to learn.

Moving to Houston has made a big impact on who I am today. I am from a small town and it is easy to get complacent if you aren’t exposed to different lifestyles and ideas or have at least have a vision for yourself. The experiences I have had so far and the people I have met have given a glimpse of who or what I can become.

Being close with my parents and siblings has made an positive impact on my life. Those relationships has kept me from looking for acceptance and approval from the wrong people.

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:

Growing up in a single parent home, but also having to become part of a blended family has posed some difficult and complicated situations. I have a compassion for adults my age dealing with the things our parents didn’t show or teach us growing up.
