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 first gave my life to Christ at the age of 19 at United Progressive Family Worship Center. After relocating to MD at the age of 22 I backslid and rededicated my life at the age of 30 at the Lion of Judah

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

United Progressive, Hickory, NC-Dance Ministry, Secretary of Choir, Administrative Assistant to Head Deaconness.

Bread of Heaven, Bowie, MD- Dance Ministry

Lion of Judah Church-Dance Ministry, Mental Health Ministry, Intercessory Prayer Ministry, Employment Ministry, Book Store

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

Relocating back to my home state of Maryland. It allowed me to meet some incredible people.

Graduating with my Associates of Arts in Human Services. At he same time I was a caregiver for my aunt and it gave me the desire to also want to become a social worker for seniors.

Writing my books

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:

Growing up without my father. I know what it is like to try and fill that void. I hope to encourage other young women not to do the things I did.

Being bullied. I hope to build the self esteem of children who are experiencing it.

Being diagnosed with depression disorder and anxiety. I hope to bring mental health awareness to the attention of the world and the church.
