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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Grew up in a Christian home with Christian values. No earth shattering conversion, however, in Jr High I truly gave my life to Jesus.

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

The Benton Church the last 6 or 7 years

Towanda Methodist Church of Christ
1981-2013(?)

I believe I ministered you my patients over the years as an x-Ray tech. Sometimes thru talking to them and encouraging them. Sometimes it was thru prayer for them.

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

My Parents. The love they have for me and my sisters and our families. My upbringing

My involvement in church, but especially as a teenager going to BASIC (Brothers & Sisters in Christ)

My pastor from years ago, L Fred Houston and a couple SS teachers

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:

My husband’s infidelity (before he was a Christian)

My mom’s breast cancer and my dad’s last few months on earth

Clicks and hatefulness when I was in H.S.
