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

I attended a Christian school and went to church weekly and I had heard many sermons and yet my heart was hardened to Christ. As a young married mom we were invited to an old time dinner on the grounds and sing on a Sunday afternoon. Once hearing the ladies sing with such passion and truth, my heart was stirred. I realized that they had a peace that I most definitely did not. That afternoon I spoke to the pastor and asked Jesus to come into my heart and save me and change me from the inside out. I was changed that day and my life showed it! My boys had a new mom and my husband received a new wife.

First Baptist Church Macclenny, Florida. Sunday school teacher and financial secretary 1990’s

First Baptist Glen St Mary, Florida. Youth Pastors wife, AWANA leader, teacher

Rocky Ridge Baptist Donalsonville, Georgia. Pastors wife; First Baptist Church Elton, Louisiana 2008-2016 pastors wife, teacher, women’s ministry coordinator,

Going to undergrad and grad school enabled us to meet some of the most extraordinary people who are splashing Jesus all over the world.

Separation from our extended family for 20 years while in school and serving in local churches made my relationship with my husband strong.

I have been on numerous mission fields and had amazing opportunities to grow and learn that I would have never had if I had not choose Christ.

Our 20 year old son passed away from cancer in 2012. Walking through his diagnosis, 2 transplants and death have given us a compassion for families who are hurting from illness and death.

We loved on people that didn’t look like “regular church members” where we were serving and we were fired because of that. (Migrant workers, people of different race)
