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

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

My family is Christian and went to church with them for years. My grandmother did bible studies in her home. I was blessed to grow up knowing God. I accepted Jesus as my Savior in my tweens because I felt that when I was saved before I was too young then and I wanted to do it myself when I was old enough to understand it. So I did.

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

None

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

Being saved from the meth addiction and overcoming it.

Being able to stay home and raise my kids.

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:

Losing my Pawpaw who passed away from cancer.

Methamphetamine addiction when I was younger.
