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

At church under heavy conviction in 1992

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

Church Goshen Indiana Sunday School teacher 2-4 year olds – several years

Church Goshen Indiana Children’s Church leader elementary age – “

Church Goshen Indiana Vacation Bible School all ages – “

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

Being personal friends with the pastor and his wife of a former church

Helping raise 2 children that had an uncaring spiteful parent

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:

Walking with my Dad through cancer, watching him suffer and lose the battle and rarely ever did he complain.

Walking with my Mom through a stroke that paralyzed her and took her mind.

My Mom trying to commit suicide when I was a teen because she was ashamed that I may have been pregnant which I was not.

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. to help lead people to Jesus especially my children
