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 saved as a child at around the age of 6. While that seems young, I fully believe that children can grasp the simplicity of God’s love and sacrifice for us.

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

Church Nursery, Duncan Road Baptist Church and Plaza Heights Baptist Church, 3 Years

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

Having a Supportive Family Growing Up

The ability to chase my dreams of becoming a Librarian by returning to school

Doing well in school and learning I enjoyed learning and teaching

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:

Getting involved in a toxic relationship gave me compassions for others stuck in similar situations

Being verbally abused by a grandparent for most of my child and adult life has given me greater compassion for those stuck in demoralizing family situations

My fear of being embarrassed or feeling shame has helped me realize the importance of trusting in God and not worrying about people’s opinions.
