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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was triggered by the sermon on Jesus and the purpose of his birth , at a Christmas service, and I answered the call for salvation.

Served as Project Coordinator for Build Jamaica Foundation – Fellowship Tabernacle Church

Served as Project Coordinator with the Urban Development Corporation

General private and commercial construction works

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

Being attached to a Church community at TLC that speaks truth using the word of God

Becoming a Father of four (4) boys who have not, to date, been a disappointment to me, as well as being blessed with four (4) grandchildren

Being married to the same person for almost fifty (50) 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:

Experiencing almost becoming homeless, but for the grace and mercy of God

Not having a proper financial retirement plan in place before actual retirement

Experiencing failing health at this time of my life instead of ”enjoying” the evening of my years.
