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 realized my need for Jesus when I was a sophomore in college. I attended a campus ministry called RUF. Between the preaching at the ministry, friendships I developed, and encouragement from my Dad, I finally realized my sin and determined that I needed a savior.

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

Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, various positions/mission trips, 10 years

Reformed University Fellowship, core group member, 2 years

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

Involvement in a campus ministry in college that gave me lifelong friendships and my first real knowledge of the Bible.

Mission trips to Haiti

Getting married and becoming a mom

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:

Relationships with boyfriends in high school/college

Difficulty getting along with my mom in high school (not feeling as loved as my siblings)

Making decisions that resulted in loss of friendships that were important to me. Not being able to deal well with conflict.
