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 grew up in the church and walked away because of judgment without grace and what I would have said was hypocrisy at that time. The first one was real and directed towards me the second was perception and because the enemy got me to look at people instead of Jesus. As an adult, I returned to Jesus when I was in a season of great personal difficulty. I was determined my experience with Jesus would be different, and I sought out mentors and support.

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

Mops Leader, Covenant Presbyterian Church Ligonier, PA

Women’s Bible Study Leader, Christian Life Church, Trafford PA and Covenant Presbyterian Church, Ligonier PA

Small Group Leader/Marriage Ministry Christian Life Church, Trafford PA

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

Having a mentor who taught me to pray and trust God.

Encouragement from a small group of women to find and test my gifts of communication.

Leading our Mops ministry and growing it from 15 ladies to over 60 while starting a Bible study in conjunction with our other programming.

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:

Experienceing sexual abuse as a girl and the consequences that followed.

Finding out that people in my life were not truly honest with me about thier faith.

Marriage difficulties and divorce.
