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 grew up going to a Catholic Church, so I knew about God and often prayed when I was a child, but it wasn’t until I went to summer camp at 14 that I recognized my need of a Savior. My best friend and I went to the little camp chapel and prayed together that Jesus would forgive us of our sins and give us new life in Christ, then our camp counselors and friends were all so happy and celebrated with us. I began reading the Bible on my own and growing and learning so much.

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

Leading small group Bible studies in college

co-leading couples groups with Eb, children’s ministry and nursery in FL

Kidlife and nursery here at Onelife

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

InterVarcity Christian Fellowship was the college ministry I was a part of, and there was just a lot of discipleship that happened in those four years for me.

My parents are not currently involved in a church, but they have always been supportive and encouraging of whatever I want to do in life. They are some of the kindest people and my biggest cheerleaders.

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:

Teaching in public school

Loosing three babies to miscariage

Leaving a church after a negative experience
