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

Born Catholic within a religious family, I was in the church choir and had 12 years of CCD. when I went away for school I stopped going to church. I went to church until my children refused to attend

Nursing

My marriage and family

Just started making a life without my husband but able to communicate frequently with my family

The loss of my father who had pancreatic cancer but he accepted it through faith

I pulled myself away from the church and though I encouraged others to find faith and love in Christ. I failed to do it often enough for myself

The illness of my husband and having to move. Finding out we were not happy with our situation we turned to Christ who somehow brought us to Grace Church
