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 was raised in the church, but then became somewhat rebellious towards the church as a teenager and pastor’ child, but then I came back to the church in my early 20’s wanting to start a family.

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

I served in the nursery and at Bible School at an Independent Baptist Church in Centerville, OH

I served in the nursery and at Bible School at Allison Avenue Baptist Church in Hamilton, OH

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

I learned a good work ethnic from my parents’ example.

I learned that Christians should serve and care about others from my parents’ example.

I gained confidence from becoming knowledgeable and skilled in my 3 jobs working at a school district.

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 have learned to be more patient and forgiving after my husband went to prison.

I have learned to be more sympathetic to people who have disabilities since I have a friend who is disabled and since I fell myself and hurt my shoulder.

I have learned to be hopeful because my son who was an alcoholic and was homeless has stopped drinking recently.
