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

As a young child my mother read a story from a Christian magazine which had an invitation to accept Christ and my mother prayed with me.

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

Teaching Sunday School & assisting at Broadway Church. Assistant Sunday School Superintendent and Church Council member at Broadway Church. Also lead lunch hour Bible Study at MEI in high school

On board of Tabor Home in Clearbrook for several years

Served as volunteer with MCC in Haiti (2 times) and short term in India (2 times)

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

Attending a Christian High School and Bible College

Volunteering with MCC

Extensive travelling

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:

Adopting a daughter with FAS (fetal alcohol) before we knew about the far reaching effects

Having a teenage son who decided to do our family in and his having to spend 3 years in prison for his attempt. Having to live with the results it caused his older brother who required multiply surgeries. Learning to forgive and fully accept. God is good.

Although going to Haiti was one of the high of my life it was very difficult in the beginning.
