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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in the church as my parents are church leaders. During a revival in church, a speaker from Haiti has had an impact on me understanding Jesus for myself and wanting to follow Him.

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

Redemption of Zion Church in Irvington New Jersey. I was born in this church until I came to TLCC.

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

I had some positive and impactful experiences in college and I know they helped shape me.

At a time when I was conflicted about a decision, I prayed and followed my intuition and inner voice which led to many new experiences and opportunities for me.

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:

I have assisted and supported close individuals dealing with sexual abuse and I have great compassion for victims of sexual abuse.

I have struggled with feelings of being inadequate during periods of my life and time and time again, God has shown me that I am more than a conqueror just as I am with Him. I can understand those who may feel that because of their uniqueness or difference that they are less than and help them to see how this is one of their greatest strength and offering to the world.
