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

Put a bigger importance on church after having kids. Became a born again christian after being taught about relationship with Christ in a new church as a young mother.

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

Worked in the nursery and as a greeter at Meadow Spring Community Church in Chaska, MN

Co-leader for women’s ministry at River Valley Church, Shakopee, MN

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

Becoming a mother – reason I found a personal relationship with Christ. Help me to understand obedience. Unconditional Love.

Family camp trips in childhood – gave me my love for nature

popular kids telling me they thought I was the nicest girl in class and they liked me better than the popular girls – lesson that being nice and fair is better than being popular

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:

Depression – heart for others who experience it

Dad’s death – learned to let the little things go.

Sexual predator in the park – sense of protection over children
