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

My parents led me to the Lord at age 6, at age 12 I was doubting and realized salvation is truly a gift not earned and felt confirmed in my salvation

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

Mission trip action group leader (teenager)

FCA leader, ROTC Bible study leader

Current BF teacher

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

Making it through the military …lesson if God calls me He will get me through, His strength in my weakness

Financial peace university

Being a wife and a mom after infertility struggle

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:

All the church denominations, break-ups, wide experiences in different churches good and bad … able to flex with church changes as long as keeping true to God’s word

So many women aborting even after ultrasound… realized knowing it’s life is not enough/ need practical and spiritual help for single moms

Newlyweds
