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

Saved @ an early age in the church where I’m still an active member. Had several growth experiences the most recently beginning 3 yrs ago.

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

Teaching, usher, safety, finance committee, mission trips with Northside Baptist in Corsicana, Tx

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

Life threatening cancer fight 3 1/2 yrs ago causing me to turn complete control and dependence over to God.

Mission trips with the Church to assist hurricane victims in Houston, Tx. Some of these in coordination with Samaritan’s Purse and the Baptist Men..

Involvement with the church’s Easter and Christmas pageants.

Divorce 13 yrs ago.

Death of dad and father in law 10 yrs ago
