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 resisted God’s persistent pursuit, until I realized He loved me and wanted to save me.

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

Community group leader, New Life Church, Renton, WA, 3 years

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

US Army, taught me self discipline and self sufficiency, and love and respect for others.

US Postal Service taught me how to facilitate, manage and lead large groups, and a better understanding of diversity and its challenges.

Marriage and family taught patience, love, compromise and sacrifice.

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:

US Army, treating the sick and broken, both physically and emotionally

Loss of my father and sister to cancer.

Traveling the world alone taught me what true poverty and suffering is.
