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

Was in 8th grade and everyone kept talking about June 6, 2006, being the mark of the beast. It was all scary words, but I knew I didn’t want to die without going to heaven. I didn’t want to not be with Jesus. I didn’t want to not see my family again after death. I didn’t want to be scared of death or of Satan or of 6/6/6. So I crawled into bed with my Mama and asked her to pray with me, to tell me how to be saved and with Jesus.

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

First Baptist Tullahoma, Child care leader, 2-3 years.

First Presbyterian Church, preschool teacher, 2 years

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

Family vacations when I was younger. Life in general from birth to age 10.

Getting married.

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:

The death of my grandmother

Both my parents losing their jobs at the same time. Almost losing our house. Really scraping, but acting like everything was okay.
