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

I started reading my bible and going to church more since I moved to Canada and remember one day I was in bed crying listening to word of God and voice said to me I need to be baptized so the following Sunday I went to Sunday told them to baptize me

My mother wasn’t Christian but all my life growing I would see her giving to people and I always wonder why is she giving away and we don’t much we lived in one bedroom so not realizing I was learning something there.

My brother was molested at a young age and I was upset when I was told about It i cried so much and to this day I remember one thing my mother told me always forgive because no one is perfect and you could need somebody to forgive you one day

Well after coming to Canada six months later I loss my job unfairly I wasn’t fired I was jus told to go back Jamaica that experience has change my life and still is I had to learn how to forgive and let go

I would tell anyone especially people who are from another country that the experience of leaving ur home and going aboard it’s not easy it’s extremely hard but the experience can also shape you because in those difficult times of confusion feeling lost and alone jus know that our Heavenly Father is with you I said he will be with us no matter where are “Every where the sole of foot thread upon I will be with you ” and also use all the circumstances to draw closer to ur God
