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

Giving everything to God when I felt I was losing everything and seeing Him show up and show out in my life.

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

StoneWater Snyder: Outreach, Greeting, Connections, Single moms

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

Being mentored and loved on by a Christian woman in work and life.

Finally feeling welcomed in a church.

Having a friend tell me, “It may never feel like the right time to do something, but you will run out of time” in regards to chasing my dreams. He passed away unexpectedly shortly after that, and it’s because of him I went back to college to get my degree.

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:

Losing my dad at 3 years old to a drunk driver and growing up fatherless.

Watching my son live with drug addiction and detoxing him alone at home with no help for 2 weeks.

Marriage, divorce, and co-parenting or lack of with an alcoholic.
