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

I was raised in a Christian home, went to a Christian school and saw faith lived out around me. My faith became my own in high school when I faced various struggles with friendships and watching relationships around me disintegrate. At the same time I watched my parents’ faith grow and truly become their own, living out what they taught. Through their witness and that of other Christian leaders and friends, I knew I wanted a personal relationship with Jesus and to make this faith my own, not just simply going through the motions, but continuing to grow in relationship with God and knowledge of His Word.

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

Forestview (2009 to present) – nursery, Sunday school, youth ministry, deacon, coffee fellowship, life group leader, GT

Bethel CRC Waterdown (2004 to 2009) – nursery, youth ministry

Smithville CRC (1996 to 2004) – nursery, Sunday school, youth ministry, young adults ministry, community children’s outreach, VBS
