Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Attending a Revival service listening to Preacher and knew God was calling me.
I had the white knuckle syndrome didn’t want to move but the next thing I knew I was up and down the aisle giving my life to Christ.

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

Was ordained as a Deacon a Love Bridge Church Baptist (formerly Austell 1st Baptist)also sang in choir help taught in Ra’s worked with Youth.

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

Going on Foreign Mission trips taking word of God to others

Working yearly with Builder’s For Christ seeing the impact the Ministry has made

Seeing impact a church on fire for the Lord can have

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 parents divorcing when I was 2 and how uninvolved my Dad was after that

Seeing a Church go thru hurt after staff member was asked to leave

Seeing a church unwilling to move forward to due to unwillingness to see
community around them has changed.
