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 born into a family of Catholics – went to catholic schools thru high school.
In my forties after experiencing the loss of my parents and my oldest brother, I was feeling like I needed more. Through my job at Malone and attending a book study of Purpose Driven Life, I began attending First Friends in 2004. Learning more about my personal relationship with Jesus the Christ. I publicly declared my belief through water baptism in 2016.

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

Sacred Heart of Mary in Louisville – I served as an Eucharistic Minister, on the board, and several committees in the school at SHM.

First Friends – helped facilitate a grief group
nursery – led a women’s group for those experiencing divorce – leading a women’s sunday school class at the present time.

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

growing up in my family….

getting married almost 35 years ago

having 3 children

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:

losing my Mom to cancer in 1988

the loss of my oldest brother in 1992 – who was a catholic priest and a huge influence on my whole family

going thru the difficult teen years with my oldest son – who suffered depression and drug/alcohol abuse for several years. and so blessed to say as he gets ready to turn 33 … he married his best friend last october and they are doing well.
