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 was sitting in church service one Sunday when the light came on in my mind. I realized that good works could not save me. Jesus had already taken care of that on Calvary. All I had to do was accept His finished work and live my life in gratitude for what He had done!!!

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

At The Mt. Sinai MBC in Port Arthur, TX, I served as Trustee for 15 years. I directed the Evangelism Department for 10 years. I taught in the church Institute for 2-3 years. I sang in the choir. I spoke as special speaker on occasion ( at other churches as well). I taught Sunday School class for 20+ years. I taught classes in the prison ministry for 10 years, etc.

At Cathedral of Faith Church in Beaumont, TX, I taught an adult women’s Sunday School class for a year. I sang in the choir for nearly 2 years. I served as special speaker/prayer. I participated in evangelism outreach, etc.

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

Becoming a wife!!!

Becoming a mother!!!

Growing up in a loving two-family parent home!

Experiencing the ups and down of a marriage and how knowing the Lord makes all the difference.

Experiencing betrayal of a friend.

Experiencing miscarriages (2).
