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 accepted Christ as my Saviour at an early age (10?). However, it was during my college years during a worship experience that I had an encounter with God that led to yielding to the Holy Spirit.

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

As a youth, I served in the youth choir, assistant Superintendant of Sunday School, Junior Usher. I also gave many oratorical speeches.

During College years, I served as a historian (photographer) for Black Collegiate Christian Fellowship. Went on a missionary trip with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.

In the season that I’ve been in, I haven’t been very involved in the church. As my kids become more independent, I prayerful that God will lead me in the direction that will both be fulfilling and more importantly, grow his kingdom.

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

Becoming a wife

Becoming a mother

The lifelong friendships-in-Christ that I have made.

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:

Not so great relationships
