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

Brought up in Christian family. Always in church. Accepted Jesus at almost 10 years of age. Parents were getting ready to remarry each other. A lot of changes were going to happen in my life. Followed close to Jesus until after college and then made some of my own decisions. My eyes were off Jesus for awhile, but he was always waiting for me.

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

Acteens-Maysville first baptist 1978-80

Choir Steelville first baptst 1980-82

Nursery/Preschool PVBC 1996-present

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

Christian family—parent, grandparents…

Working at a church

Marrying Dennis and being a part of the McClure family

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:

Parents divorcing when I was young, but remarrying each other 5 years later.

My daughter, Elizabeth moving overseas to live.

The loss of my husband, Dennis in 2013.
