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 became at Christian at a Terry Winter Crusade when I was 10. I didn’t really start living out my faith until high school.

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

BEFC – Brooks, AB. – VBS Volunteer – 8 years

BEFC – Brooks, AB. – Worship leader – 5 years

BEFC – Brooks, AB. – Club DJ leader – 3 years

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

Getting baptized – making that public profession of my faith

Getting married – Nothing determines who you want to be more then getting married.

Having children – really helped me determine who I am and how my kids want to remember 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:

Bad relationship with parent: I see young kids and how some of them bad mouth and parent, makes me wonder what is going on at home.

Bad relationship with siblings: I want my kids to get along. I am encouraging them to at like each other even though they are so different.

People who think they are superior to you: I try to treat everyone equally. We each have our own talents and abilities.
