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

My aunt took me to church in the summer when I stayed with her, my grandmother taught me to read the Bible. When I was 18, a friend in high school shared the gospel and I knew I had found what I was looking for. At 25 I made sure of my salvation, and from there on in, I knew I belonged to Christ.

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

Kansas: Sunday School teacher, VBS, Wednesday night Bible clubs

Cross Church: ESL director and teacher under Mission Northwest Arkansas
Christian School teacher

Friendship: Women’s Ministry, VBS, greeter

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

My husband

My inlaws

God revealing Himself in some phenomenal ways throughout my life

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:

Emporia, Kansas: Newlywed constantly being judged by the “established” women of the church. Lots of gossipers.

Wanting to go to church as a young child, but my parents never took me.

Stillbirth of our son and others not knowing how to reach out and minister so they did nothing.
