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 grew up in NY state and attended church regularly all my life even when my parents didn’t! I have dealt with many issues like a reading disability and weight issues! I was so lost and hurting because I was different! I accepted Christ at 12 years old and was baptized on Easter Sunday 4/12/1989. I learned that music was my plug to my emotions and learned how to write songs that helped my reading disability!

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

Choir, praise team transformation Church in Salisbury

Women’s group Williamson’s Methodist church in Mooresville devotional shares

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

Music ability

Paved my career and education goals

Developed my character

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:

Was told I couldn’t sing because it was not my gift (left the option of talent)

I was asked to step down from choir because I was praising too much.
