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 became a Christian when a friend invited me to church. I heard that God loved me and I was forgiven through the cross of Christ. I went down to the alter to receive Christ and my life has never been the same.

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

Most of my ministry experience, has been along side my husband. I have been a “pastor’s wife for over 30 years and have opened my home to countless people.

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

My Great Uncle Forest would pray a blessing over meals at our house. His faith being lived out in front of me, probably had more to do with my conversion than the one sermon I heard that finally brought me to repentance and to faith.

Graduating Collage: I took about fifteen years off before I finished my degree. I graduated with honors: This has helped me to have confidence that I would not have had with out finish up what I had started.

Going through therapy with David Donaldson was life changing. Experiencing EMDR and having my thought patterns be changed.

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:

My growing up with a mother who had difficulty showing love, has given me a great love for children and the need to express my love to my family. This also gave me a deep compassion for children.

Experiencing depression/self-hatred moved me to a place to get help. It also gives me compassion for others who suffer from mental health issues.

Watching my parents fight most of my growing up years, has made me determined to love and honor my husband, to be his friend and lover. To speak kindly and to work on our marriage
