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

Was invited to church at age five and learned about Jesus. Felt convicted of my sins, asked for forgiveness, and for Jesus to be Lord of my life.

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

St Christopher’s that was in Town and Country- taught Christian Ed at least one yr, lead prayer ministry for a year before moving to Iowa, helped in nursery

St Mary’s – taught Christian Ed a year or less, assisted with Alpha Program and Operation Timothy, filled in as needed in the nursery

COTR – for the most part, whatever I was asked to do

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

Being baptized in the Holy Spirit at youth camp

Being welcomed into the Episcopal Church after a period of straying and searching, and receiving sound formation

Attending Order of St Luke conferences

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 our home and everything we had in a fire, except what we were wearing or carrying

Having to make an important decision when I didn’t like any of the options

Having a teenage daughter run away from home
