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

My Pastor as a youth guided me to be come a Christian and I accepted Christ at Youth Camp. My husband & I reconfirmed our faith together.

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

Stratton Church of God. Been involved at different levels since I was a Youth.

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

Served in the military and learn quickly that I had the ability to be successful. Of course God was with me all the way.

Marriage and raising children with a very limited budget has shown me that God will provide.

Having close family ties and always made me feel needed and wanted.

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:

Losing my husband way before I thought I would has taken me from leaning on him to relying on my own judgement. Of course, with God direction.

Losing several family members very close together has often left me feeling alone.

While attending church and participating in groups I often feel that what I say is not said correctly and have been corrected, so I prefer not to speak.
