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

After getting away from a brief stint with Jehovah Witnesses, I was lead back to faith in Christ.

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

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

I was invited to visit Friends Church after I had pulled away from Jehovah Witnesses and felt lost. It was there that I learned God could and did still love me.

I had a lady who took me under her wing and encouraged me while I was a young mom in a shaky marriage. Her faith in and knowledge of Jesus was deep.

A lady at a little community church made us kids feel loved and safe.

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:

An alcoholic dad and angry mom, rebellious sister drove me to seek out kind, even-keeled friends. Being afraid of punishment, kept me out of trouble.

From my failed marriage, I learned how important it is to find someone with the Christian faith, same values.

I was rejected by my kids, but I learned to live with hope. They have come back to me.
