Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was 11 years old ,at VBS & Leaned that God loved me so much that he sent his only son to die on a cross for me… & Could live with him forever after I died so I accepted Him as my Lord & Savior

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

N/A

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

Getting married to Ev in 1985

Having my son

Getting married to Mike in 2006

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:

Ev was killed in car accident in 1993

House burned down in 1978

Mom was diagnosed with dementia Alzheimer’s & became abusive to me , the only caregiver. Had to place her. She passed in 2014 with pneumonia & sepsis I was right by her side the only one there. Reading our daily Bible, singing to her & praying for her. Before I went to bed I told that I loved her & I was not going to be mad ,Mike would take care of me ,to go to Jesus. She flipped her eyes open for a fleeting moment & said “bye,love” I miss her so much
