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 a Christian in eighth grade. I became emotional at a church service because I felt guilty and didn’t want to disappoint God. I would not go forward at invitation. I told my Mom later in the evening that I wanted to be baptized. She told the preacher for me. I was baptized in the small creek behind the church in May 1981.

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

Sang in church I grew up in (sang with my mom and sister). It was a small, country Free Will Baptist church. In Pike County, KY. We did not have musical accompaniment.

Sang in church with my husband at Argillite United Methodists in Greenup County, KY

Occasional Sunday school/VBS teacher

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

Meeting my husband in high school/attending Salem United Methodist church with him (pastored by Tim Swanson)/building our life together

Graduating from college

Our years spent in the Argillite United Methodist church, pastored by Tom Heaberlin

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:

Having the father I have

Depression/feelings of worthlessness (lifelong journey/battle)

Too emotional
