Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Grew up in a Christian home and don’t remember a time of not believing in the Gospel. Wandered during my college years due to some loss. Entered into a 22-year marriage to an alcoholic. During that time I moved from denominational to Bible-believing church. After my divorce I felt free to attend Bible studies and God was the only friend I had at that point after years of isolating. I think my relationship with Christ really started there, years after accepting him. I chose to be baptized again as an adult in 2018.

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

Cody Bible Church, Cody WY
Children’s Church – 3 years?
Vacation Bible School – 2 years
Youth Group Leader – 3 1/2 years
Greeter – 1 year
Driving elderly ladies to church – 5 years

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

My entire childhood – great parents who instilled good values, compassion for others, demonstrated servant hood, gave me my work ethic

Having someone see value in a young, unskilled person and believe I could be trained.

Friends who took chances on me and reminded me that I have self- worth.

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:

The loss of very close friends at a young age

Being married to an alcoholic

My divorce

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. I would volunteer at the local food bank on a regular basis.
