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

I needed help in 2016 and found myself at a CR program. I did not believe in God. I left July 1st thinking that He could be there. Then one night I couldn’t sleep and I prayed to know that I mattered. I heard God say you matter. I knew that night that I could not deny Him and that He really was there.

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

Celebrate Recovery Indiana, PA 2016-2017 Tech team
Set and run the tech at our programs and for the Good Friday service for the YMCA

Amplify Church Indiana, PA summer/fall 2017 greeting team and welcome team as well as offering and Communion

New Life Community Church Indiana, PA nursery

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

Going to college it gave me goals to work towards and allowed for me to have the goals and directions I needed.

Going through Step Study it allowed for me to grow and to see God at work more than I thought I would learn.

Serving on the tech team. It allowed for me to grow my confidence.

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:

Emotional abuse throughout my education. It has allowed for me to understand students who struggle and why they may not believe in themselves.

Losing my mom it has allowed for me to understand why someone may struggle with mental health issues and why they may struggle in other ways

Being kicked out of Social Work gave me the understanding that things in life can change but still work out for the better. I feel this has helped me to work with college students in understanding the fear in changing programs.
