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 still recall the day the Lord called me unto Himself. I had been attending a variety of churches, but one Sunday, in a Southern Baptist Church, the pastor’s sermon touched my heart, and I went forward giving my life to Christ.

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

Emmanuel Baptist Church, Mount Vernon, Washington – Adult Sunday School Teacher – 5 years

Immanuel Baptist Church, Hoquiam, Washington – Adult Sunday School Teacher – 2 years; Deacon – 2 years; Elder – 3 years; Church Chairman, 2 years; Summer VBS Teacher, 2 years

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

Being mentored by spiritually mature Christian brother for two years following my acceptance of the Lord.

Marrying my wife, who is a wonderful example of Christian woman – and her family. especially her Dad, who is also a wonderful example of Christian.

My career path – I owe it all to God – and every experience has helped to mold me into who I am today.

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:

At my very first church, where I was saved, the Pastor (whom I loved dearly) had an affair with the Associate Pastor’s wife. I was broken-hearted, confused, and Ihad to learn to place my faith in Christ and His word.

As a school principal and superintendent, I have had experiences with family break-ups, poverty, suicide, schools burning down, financial cliffs, working with a variety of people in improvement efforts, and finding ways to support children.
