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

The Holy Spirit used the messages I received at church to encourage me to seek the gospel. One night when I was home alone, I felt the Holy Spirit calling to me. I was ten years old when I asked how to become a Christian, was baptized and joined a church.

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

Serving when called on in my local church as a door greeter, nursery worker, kindergarten teacher, event set up worker.

I have a disciple ministry with individual college girls once a week at a coffee shop. I have done this with different girls for the last three years.

I come along side and encourage my family.

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

Physically, emotionally, and spiritually feeling the Holy Spirit when I was a young.

Close loving family growing up and now.

Godly husband and great marriage for 40 years.

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:

Personal experiences with overcoming trials.

Feeling that I was not as talented as everyone else, but learning that “thinking the best of people”and compassion for them is my talent or gift.

Extended family conflict where I felt like a peacekeeper.
