I fully understand that all that I have is because of God. I am extremely blessed and enjoy being a blessing to others.

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 was 20, single and pregnant and on a very bad path. I was brought to a church, and was asked if I wanted to give my life to Jesus. Best decision ever!

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

Impact Church London Ontario on the worship team

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

When I was lost, single, pregnant and a lady named Angela asked me if I wanted to give my life to Jesus.

Helping people in need. Blessing people with things, money, clothes, food etc. Seeing the joy it brings brings my heart such joy.

I love all God’s creatures. I’m extremely passionate about animals and I have volunteered at Salt Resuce, and the Humane Society. I foster animals, and am one who is a person who would rather capture a bug and release it than kill it! They deserve life too!

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:

An ex-fiance who went to jail for attempted murder on me. I’ve been in abusive relationships and know what it’s like to feel alone, lost, broken, scared.

I have been raped several times, and have experienced trauma, abuse and dealt with suicidal thoughts, abandonment and rejection issues.
