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 came to the Lord as a young child, I have walked away several times, only to find God still there when I was ready to let him back in control of my life.

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

Grace , Frederick, MD, worship team, 2 years

West side gospel tabernacle, Cleveland, Ohio, worship leader, youth group leader, Sunday school teacher, church secretary, 3 years

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

Graduating college with my associates degree. It helped me to see I am smart and capable of many things. Made me a role model to my kids and grandkids.

Meeting my current husband, he helped me let go of my anger to God and rebuild that relationship.

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:

The death of my best friend, it turned me away from God. I have learned to listen to God and he will help with loss. I have compassion for those going through grief.

Marrying an abusive man at 17. It has helped me to be able to talk to those in abusive relationships and give them hope.
