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 a Christian home / the church, but I came to know Jesus as my Saviour at a personal level at a Bible camp in Ontario when I was 7 years old.

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

Westfort Baptist Church, Thunder Bay, Ontario – choir, worship team, Sunday school helper (while I was in Grades 6-12); Dorion Bible Camp as a counselor (Gr. 9-12); Somerset Beach Campgrounds, Michigan, summer of 2006, counselor.

Camp Chamisall, Alberta – kitchen assistant / head cook (2007-present)

First Alliance Church, Calgary, Alberta – choir / worship team (off and on from 2005-present); DiscoveryLand grade school classroom leader / sub (2006-2008?); cafe barista; landscaping; small group host.

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

Being involved in camping ministry as both a camper and as staff.

Being married to a wonderfully well-grounded and servant-hearted man of God 🙂

Growing in my staff role at FAC / being part of the Environments team.

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:

Not so much negative, but just hard: experiencing / adapting to significant changes in church leadership over a rather short period of time (5 years).

Not so much negative, but just hard: journeying through several job transitions with my husband.

Not so much negative, but just hard: processing not having children.

Everyone Else After those
