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

Always went to Church and was constantly asking God to come into my heart. Thought for years I had to be a good person never really heard about Grace. Came to a head when my Dad died and I wondered what my life was about. We were pretty well off but my husband was a work a holic and I was drawn into it too. I had an accident with a fire and I feel to my knees and said God whatever it takes I commit my life to you. Change me and it was like a weight was lifted off me. I confronted my husband and said we needed to change Church because I didn’t know what it was but I knew something was missing. To my surprise he agreed
