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 was raised Catholic. My Dad passed away when I was 12. My teen years were full of questions, doubts and searching. I left the Catholic faith at that time. I had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ when I was 17. He captured my heart for the rest of my life! Been seeking and growing in Him ever since.

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

Assisted with children’s ministries and sang in the choir at Harvest Time A/G church in Brunswick in the 90’s thru 2006.

Assisted with a prison ministry at ClearView A/G church in Columbia Station in 2013-14. Assisted with Freedom Ministry and children’s ministry at Bethel Cleveland church in Brunswick 2015-2016.

Been an Intercessor with the Staff and Sword Ministry ( a national prayer group by mail) since 1994.

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

Getting set free from an unequally yoked marriage! The unbelieving husband chose to depart. I have chosen celibacy and I am still contending in prayer and faith for his salvation.

Being blessed with faithful, loving, Christian prayer partners and church family.

Raising my daughter and son, teaching them about God, and having a close relationship with both

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:

Being in an unequally yoked marriage relationship. Marriage is hard work. I listen, encourage, and pray when called upon.

Having 4 close friends with chronic illnesses and helping them as I could. Then watching my daughter and son’s health deteriorate, helping as I could. In the process I learned about alternative medicine and healthy living and ended up as a professional caregiver. I truly was born with the gift of mercy.

Not really knowing my Dad growing up and then losing him at a young age. Not having a close relationship with my Mom because of our large family (11 children). The result was a healthy hunger to know and seek God.

Everyone Else After those
