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

At the age 11 or 12, I remember attending New Bethel Baptist Church and I felt inspired and pulled to walk up to the aisle, but I did do it the first the time I visited, but I believe the second time I visited, I just went for it.

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

NBBC – Children’s choir, youth choir, Gospel Choir,Sunday School, young adult fellowship, Children’s Church, Acts 29 Ministry; Outreach Ministry
Soul Factory, Suitland, Md – Children’s Church and TV Ministry

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

Graduating from College

Meeting people who are so much different from me and have had greater obstacles to overcome and yet still achieved their goals. I am still trying to achieve my goals. But that is okay. Baby Steps

I have sickness in my body but God Healed me in a Mighty Way. Thank you Jesus !!!

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:

Losing my Mom and Dad and siblings. I loss my Mom in November of 1991. And it felt like my heart was ripped out. I still feel like I loss a part of myself when I Mom passed away. My sister was murdered in Nov of ’97 and my eldest brother in 2018.

Then, I lost my Dad in March of 1993. My sister was murdered in Nov of ’97 and my eldest brother in 2018.

Of course, I have been fired from a couple of jobs which took a tole me on my self esteem.
