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

I was a young mother and married to an abusive, Alcoholic man, living very far from home. I was hopeless and suicidal. I asked God to make Himself “real” to me, if indeed He really did exist. He brought me to “the end of myself”. Eventually, I found myself in a church, where I heard the truth, and I was born again. My life began to change and continues to humble me every time I think about what the Lord has done for me.

Celebrate Recovery @ Celebration Church, Metairie, LA. 2 years

Divorce Care @ Celebration Church, Metairie, LA. 5 years

Cell Group Host Home/ Celebration Church, Metairie, LA. 15 years intermittently.

Became an LPN; then returned to school and became a Registered Nurse, CM, FN

Attended Divorce Care and was set free from bitterness. Met and married my current husband at Celebration Church.

Was instantly delivered from depression, during praise & worship, over 15 years ago. (I had struggled with severe depression since I was a child.)

Physical and sexual abuse.

Loneliness and depression

For so many years I was caught up in my own survival. As a result, my children were emotionally neglected and verbally abused. I still don’t have the best relationship with them. Unfortunately, the dysfunctional environment that they were brought up in has left many emotional scars on them. I am trusting and believing God for a miracle in this area.
