3. spending time with people I enjoy

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

not sure…probably elementary or younger age children, have worked with youth and adults with mental disabilities and I enjoyed that, though that was 20 years ago, maybe elderly? thinking of recent experiences with my parents and assisted living situation

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

making people feel welcomed at Compass, I do think ‘connecting’ with a group at compass isn’t easy since there isn’t a ‘Sunday School’ type group at the church. how could that be improved? or promoted more?

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
