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 was a drop off kid at Sunday School. Was pretty wild in my older teens/young adult life. Move to Fl met my husband, who was raised in the church, but living the party life when we met. Got married, continued to live it up. Had our first child and was overwhelmed by the responsibility of making sure he became a good human being and began to get serious about the Lord. Started attending church regularly, got involved in small groups and serving in the church. 29 yrs later I am on staff at a church full time, teaching and serving. Absolutely Love it! And both my kids are walking with the Lord.
