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

Living in Georgia neighbor witnessed to me and I accepted Christ as My Lord and Savior. Shortly after that my brother was killed in a helicopter crash and if I had not had Christ in my life I don’t know what I would have done.

Deacon, MCC Austin 4 years, Soul Connection leader 4 years, Food faries 6 years. Freeze night ministry 3 years. Communion team 5years. Neighbors helping Neighbors 3 years. All at MCC Austin.

1. When I was 5, I cut my leg open and if the Dr. had not put me to sleep I would have died before getting to hospital. Scratches on femoral artery.

In 1973 got really sick had emergency surgery found out I had Crohns disease was told no cure so I decided I would not let it get me down. I said I would not give up Nursing School or being a nurse.

2011 I was in hospital with complete Kidney Failure one kidney already did not work and the other one shut down because I got overheated, was in ICU on ventilator and dialysis for 13 days Tony Spears came and anointed me while I was in the hospital and I have served in different ways since then.

As a young child I was sexually molested for several years so I can have understanding and know how others feel if they have been victims of sexual abuse.

When my brother was killed, because he was my only sibling and he was my protector when we were in school.

When my mom passed away, I was making plans to move her to my home to take care of her while she was so sick but she got sicker and ended up in the hospital, but I drove to see her every day I had off to see her and on the weekends I had off I stayed with her. I was there when she passed and was so glad that I had that time with her. I still miss her, my brother and my father who have all passed and gone to be with Jesus, but I will see them all again some day.
