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’ve had a lot of ups and downs in life and my walk with God has reflected that. When I first became a Christian, I didn’t think I was even saved until God showed me His love. My walk has become stronger and now I can say I have a true relationship with my Lord.

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

United Church, Dover, DE, Host Team, over 1 yr

Covenant International Church, Glendale, AZ, many teams including greeting, guest services, prayer team, 8 yrs

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

My son, my mother, and I were in a very terrible car accident right before my son and I moved to DE and God saved us all!!!

I am a single mother who was never married and my son has disabilities and God has never left us and He continues to show Himself strong in our lives….very grateful

I was abused as a child and didn’t know God so when He showed me His love and forgiveness…..took many years and He still continues to heal and change me from the inside out

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:

My son started having seizures right before he turned 4 and continue to have them today. After the anger, I realized that God makes all fearfully and wonderfully made and it is the devil that wrecks havic in this fallen world

I’ve had financial struggles and after recently going through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, I know that it is possible no matter what it looks like

I’ve seen and had a lot of bad church experiences but we are the church and attending a church service is simply communing with people of like faith

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)?

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
