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

I grew up in a Christian home, attending church regularly, it was a very natural transition for me to accept Christ as my saviour and embrace the Christian lifestyle modelled to me by my parents.

small groups ministry & childrens ministry, 2004-2014, first alliance church

The example of my parents growing up

A great youth group in my teen years, giving opportunity for growth and development

The constant support of my husband who regularly supports and encourages me to be more of what God intends for me to be

poor relationships in high school which contributed to the loss of my self worth

infertility, which caused me to retreat and hide from others instead of stepping out into my world

there have been many times throughout my life where I have not felt understood, which has led to significant loneliness, even though I am regularly surrounded by people
