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 was 16 and reading Bible on my own and the Lord revealed His love for me through His word. Before that I did not have Christ in my life after that my life has been filled with His presence. Made a commitment to Christ a few months later at a friend’s church.

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

Hill Country Bible Church Austin TX, children’s ministry in the nursery about 6-12 months

Victory Temple Austin TX, children’s ministry, teacher, about 3 years, greeter

Catholic Charities of Austin, mentored single mom’s, about 6 months

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

Being a single mom was not a positive experience but it was the pivotal point in my life that drew me closer to the Lord and helped me have a more intimate relationship with Christ. The growth I had from that was positive.

Going back college at 26. Only the Lord knew that I would be a single mom shortly after Whitney turned one. I was very blessed to not have experienced difficult struggles as many single mom’s do.

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:

Divorce

Physical abuse

Single parenting
