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 really do not have a testimony of how I became a Christian. I grew up in church and was always in church activities. I grew more in my relationship with the Lord I would say during my marriage.

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

Spent 13 years at my last church serving in the band, nursery, children’s ministry, usher ministry, cleaning ministry, food ministry and choir. — Gospel Assembly Church, New York.

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

Growing up in church was a positive impact that made a big impact on who I am today.

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:

Leaving my prior church – realized that their was a lot of witchcraft going on in the church and the pastor was okay with it.

My marriage – realized that witchcraft was used to put us together. Realized that my husband knew all along about the witchcraft at my prior church and still chooses to attend for he says it is not for him to judge.

Those experiences of church hurt, manipulation and deception has taught me a lot. I am learning to forgive and forget, learning that everyone has a soul and was created in the image of God, learning that I have a hate for witchcraft and the powers of hell. So happy I found TG because this church teaches me how to live a practical Christian life. Fighting the powers of darkness with the word of God.
