[P]ersonality

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

Praise and worship – I enjoyed leading people into worship to prepare for the word of God.

Working in the Credential Room. At the worldwide convention, I helped to renew credentials of leadership (Pastors, deacons, ministers, etc.) of all the various churches. I loved serving and completing tasks.

Working closely with my pastors allowed me to gain a lot of insight into ministry.

Some became jealous of the gifts God endowed to me. I learned to continue to serve in love.

After graduating from college, my church opened a school. I taught for the first 3 years. I needed money to pay bills and insurance. I was basically excommunicated due to my decision to leave. I learned that God can heal a broken heart and broken relationships. Just give the situation to God.
