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 4 years old and asked Jesus to be my Savior at a Kids Crusade. I prayed the sinners prayer many times throughout my childhood and believe my faith grew as my understanding grew.

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

I have served in choir and on Worship teams; taught elementary girls
Bible class; Nursery worker; church bulletin; tither; church clean up;

Led community ministry “Manna Ministry” to feed the needy in the community and give gifts to families at Christmas.

Benevolence committee member
Currently lead a small group

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

Love of worship through serving in music ministry

I have had much Biblical teaching and this has given me a Passion for God’s word, to understand and obey the Bible.

Love for the hurting and lost from serving in ministry and seeing lives changed.

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:

Religious background where I felt I could not be “good enough.” Helped me be sensitive to those with similar backgrounds

Difficult divorce that I endured as the “preacher’s daughter.” Passion for helping marriages, divorcees and blended families.

Being a preacher’s daughter brought a great deal of pressure. I am sensitive to the challenges of pastoring and support my pastor and family in prayer and service
