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

I have been a Christian all my life as we were raised in a Christian home. We went to a Christian school that was the same as our church.

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

Inland Hills, Chino California and I helped teach the classes for FPU for a few years.

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

I guess this is a hard question for me. Since I have always been a Christian, I look at my life as a whole. Everything we have and have done are because of Christ.

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:

One main thought that comes to mind is our Pastor in California. He was amazing and his love for God was undeniable. Drew ended up having mental issues over a short period of time and he ended up dying by suicide. We were devastated as a family and church body. But, because of him I began to look at suicide very differently. He was doing everything to fight his illness, and then one day it was to much. I am much more empathetic towards mental illness.
