Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a Christian home, and when I was a teen I came to know Christ for myself. I just wanted to serve him wholeheartedly.

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

Praise & Worship – COGOP (grew up in this church ), Covenant City Church (5 years)

Dance – COGOP ( 4 years), Covenant City Church (1 year)

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

A Friendship that changed my life and brought me closer to God than I ever was.

God showing up for me for my wedding. We won our whole wedding as if in a dream. We had fasted and God showed up big-time.

God gifted me a scholarship to study in New Zealand for about a year. Amazing experience. And serving in the Foreign Service

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:

And serving in the Foreign Service. It was good but was also a tough work environment.
