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

Always have known of Christ, decided when I was a teen.

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

West Goshen Church of the Brethren, Goshen, IN
Taught young children Sunday School – couple years in the late 1980’s.

Coalbush U.M. Church – Taught Junior Church 2004-2008.

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

Prayer and praise group I was involved in at my high school.

Youth group during my high school years.

Church I attended during high school.

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:

Breaking up with a fiancee was difficult, but realizing that wasn’t the path God wanted for me, can help me with others going through this.

Seeing my sister-in-law go through cancer, treatments and die from it was terrible, but also very uplifting to see her strength in the Lord, makes it easier to identify with others going through this, or their loved ones.

Having lost several pets, I can relate to people who are going through this also. Sometimes people are closer to their pets than people.
