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

I am a pastor’s daughter and grew up in the church. I chose to follow Christ at 4 years old and was baptized at 7 years old. I have experienced ups and downs in my walk with the Lord but its all led me to where I am today and allowed me to grow closer to Him.

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

Youth Ministry Intern – Christ’s Church Roswell, NM – 2 years

City Host – CSM Boston, MA – 3 months

Director – CSM DC – 2 years

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

Missions trips – Costa Rica, Mozambique, Haiti, Boston, DC, LA, NYC

Professor Eade at TTU – encouraging in classes, career pursuit, and Christ

Homelessness/poverty – I have always wanted to fill the gap and serve those experiencing injustices since I was really young.

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:

Friends attacking my character – rooted many insecurities

Supervisor being very rude and condescending and not trusting my work ethic or motives. Caused me to burn out.

Past failed relationships – rooted more insecurities but also showed me to look to Christ for assurance and fulfillment
