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 grew up going to church and gave my heart to the Lord at a very young age.

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

Youth group leader, Sunday School Teacher at Hartford Assembly of God in Hartford Il. from 2013-2015

Youth worship leader at Hartford Assembly of God in Hartford Il. from 2014-2015.

Youth group leader and worship team member at New Rivers Assembly of God in Maryville Il 2015-2017

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

Growing up with a loving and supportive family.

I started College at a christian university and although I did not finish my education there, I learned a lot about myself and what I wanted to do with my life.

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:

I was diagnosed with Hydocephalus (water on the brain) before I was born. My mom was told by doctors to abort because I would never walk, talk, or do simple everyday tasks. She did not, and I am now 26 years old and have a shunt to drain the fluid from my brain, but am able to live a very normal life. I have only had one shunt revision, at age 11, when many with my condition who are my age have had dozens.
