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 honestly don’t know. Everyone has some monumental moment. I just recall my mother and grandmother always praying over me. When I was a teen, I just developed a strong desire to follow God and I wasn’t interested in following others.

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

First Baptist of Glenarden, Upper Malboro, D.D.S. (Women Discipling Group 2010-2013

Sylvia Blessings Ministry, Online Writing prayer points/prayers 2017-2018

Personal Ministry: I sent daily inspirational words 2010-2012 and 2017-2018

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

Relocating to the USA has made me come out of my shell.

Relocating to Maryland has made me tough.

Completing school has helped me develop self-discipline.

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 remember in 2007 I became ill and no one could medically treat me. During this period I had a true Job experience and this has taught me to rely heavily on the lord.

Losing my maternal grandmother has thought me that leaving a legacy is vital.

Failed relationships have thought me to stand in God’s word and use it to guide my decisions.
