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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up going to church regularly with my family. I accepted Christ at a young age, but struggled with my faith since my earthly father was abusive. I was angry with God a lot in middle and high school because of my relationship with my dad. I always believed in Jesus, but drifted away in college. In grad school, I struggled academically for the first time in my life. God surrounded me with a group of Bible-believing sisters as friends, some of which had similar childhood experiences to me. Their love, support, and unyielding faith is what led me back to Christ and learn to forgive my dad.

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

Hospitality at Grace City in Baltimore, MD (2 years) and Church of the Redeemer in Gaithersburg, MD (2 years)

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

Going on missions trips and serving at free dental clinics
