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

At a Billy Graham film at age nine – it’s been a process

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

Christ Church Anglican – 1999 – 2015 – vbs director, Sunday school/children’s church, Christmas program, Wednesday night program, College/singles leader, missions leader – Zimbabwe

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

Coming to an understanding of the Gospel when I was a freshman in H.S.

Realized God was a God of Grace instead of rules in 1992 -changed my life- augmented with Pathways in 1999

Being in St Croix – finally understanding God as Father and The Spirit as Mover

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:

Being a divorced child in the 1970’s – much persecution and poverty – made me a great junior high teacher

Being the victim of my own sin nature – helped me understand the grace and mercy of God

The destruction of my ‘Christian’ family – had to depend on God and understand my self-worth is on;y in Him
