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 a Christian household, and do not remember a time when God was not my focus

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

Years of being responsible for Communion at Church On The Rock and involved in several other Ministries as well … Outreach in volatile areas – Open Arms (COTR) – in Church distributing gifts to the needy & Camps (COTR) …

Elderly Support (COTR)

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

Francis Hill (COTR) persevering until he had me praying out loud to The Lord

The understanding and kindness of my current boss in a time of need.

The way my family never, ever gave up their Faith in God despite some very, very rough times.

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:

Rejection from auditioning for a choir when I had always been told I could sing.

Actions from my own family that i have never been able to understand until I was shown the Scripture that said members of your own family are oft your worst enemies

Th early death of one of my younger brothers who was, to me, a real nice person. Now I know when God calls, it is time

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
