Not sure that I am all that strong in verbalizing God’s words, but try to show God’s love in my relationships, and my life – how I live it. I do fall short there many times may be words or actions, but I know when it happens I fell short.

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
Close friend invited me to a revival, thought I was rededicating my life to God – in reality was the night I truly gave my life and knew God/Jesus in a personal relationship. Had always know about Jesus – just didn’t know him personally.
Antioch Church – Frankort, Indiana. Women’s ministry, Vacation Bible School, Church Secretary (for a short time).
Jefferson Avenue Baptist Church – Springfield, Missouri…Women’s ministry, Vacation Bible School, Wednesday night meals – started that weekly ministry and did it mostly just … me, myself and I.
Green Springs Baptist Church – Parkton, NC…..Women’s ministry (Seniors), Hospitality Chair., Wednesday night meals (part of a team), Fall Harvest event.
Pastor Walt Willet at Antioch Church and the bible studies he offered.
Pastor Craig Fields at Jefferson Avenue Baptist Church…his Sunday messages and the Women’s Bible Studies we had, mission trip to Brazil in 2008
Going to the Gaither Homecoming Events with friends in Indiana, and the Women of Faith Conferences
Being told by my dad that why should I go to college or do something I had a desire for when I would just fail anyway….well I’ve learned that’s not true
Making choices as a young adult that now days would have probably not had good outcomes. Only because of God watching over me before I truly knew Him was I protected.
Knowing to pray for your babies even before they are born and as the grow – that they will come to know Jesus and, when they choose a husband/wife that that person be a believer as well.
