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 came to know Christ as a 10-year old child. After several nights of doubt and worry, I approached my mother who led me in the sinner’s prayer at her bedside.

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

Church pianist, singer, small child worship, elementary teacher

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

I was raised in a loving home where both parents eventually came to Christ and raised us in the ways of the Bible.

Christian high school was a positive experience for me.

Solid and gratifying work career.

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:

Loss of job at 49 caused me to lean on the Lord and opened my eyes to the way he works in every situation. This led us to Utah, where we feel we were meant to be.

Cancer diagnosis at 52 reinforced my need for the Lord. I tend to be the one who can take care of everything, so God regularly has to remind me who is in charge.

Divorce from my first husband (preacher boy) was earth-shattering at the time, but taught me about myself and how my sheltered upbringing did not prepare me for the harsh realities of life. Grew my compassion for imperfect people.
