Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was saved at the final meeting of a youth group at the end of my third grade year. I was convicted that I simply didn’t want to risk going through the summer without Christ. I can remember the leader going through the “Romans Road” with me. In the fifty years that have followed, my faith in salvation based solely on Christ’s sacrificial offering in my behalf has been the one constant and rock that is my anchor.

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

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

Sadly, my mother who demonstrated how a marriage was not supposed to work by bullying and emasculating my step-dad.

My 11th grade computer technology teacher of taught me: “you’ll have to look it up yourself” many times. I learned to dig for answers myself.

Two divorces
