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

The man I married led me to Christ.

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

Belmont Christian, Church Secretary, Teacher of Children 5 years

Blue Ridge Christian, 30 years, Teacher of Adults, Youth Leaders, Managed the finances and accounting for the church

Raytown Christian, close to 20 years, Taught Adults, Spiritual Growth Chair

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

Marrying Paul

My job of 20 years working for a boss that believed I could do anything, and taught me to be more outgoing and confident of my skills.

Raising children, and enjoying grands and greats and sharing my love for Jesus.

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:

Lost my Dad when I was 17 and my mother when I was 40, too soon. Being an only child I had no family, but Paul’s. I can relate to those who grieve.

Our oldest son went through alcohol rehab. We, too, had to go through sessions with him. It was tough stuff, but he is over 35 years alcohol free.

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
