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

My grandmother, a Godly woman and prayer spoke the Word into me by her lifestyle. At the age of 7 I gave my life to Christ. Felt God’s call to ministry as a teenager. I have been serving Him ever since in various church ministry roles.

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

CFBC since 1996. Hillcrest Baptist Church in Augusta, GA for 10 years. Various interims as well.

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

My pastor/mentor as a teenager, Dr. Clyde Martin who invested his life into many of the youth of our church.

Sitting under the teaching and guidance of a special pastor, Dr. Robert G. Lee, as a teenager. Making personal home visits with him to reach lost people in our community.

Sitting under the teaching of some of the great Bible teacher of the past. Our church hosted yearly winter Bible conferences that helped focus my life on the scriptures and how to live as God intended.

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:

Enduring through a church split…….

The loss of both grandparents and parents……..

The dark days of a child suffering mental health issues and other issues that accompany and come from this illness…….
