Variety

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

Grew up going to church with rules, rules, rules. God was not taught full of grace and mercy to me. In the last two years had this longing to learn more about God, wanted to attent a church where I had a feeling of wanting more each Sunday.

Attending a high school boarding school which was multi-national, I learned at age 15 people are all different, judge if I wanted be associate with them by their core values, not their appearance.

Money was stolen from a car dealer I was working at PT. The police were called to investigate, police said I was their prime suspect, as I worked with the cash and access to the safe. Everyone at the dealership stated the police must be wrong, the police asked for a list of everyone around the day of incident and on the list was a name the police had been looking for due to other thefts in the area.
Stay true to my core values in deed and action.

As a young single mother, many around me were quick to judge how I handled myself, my children and work.
I would like to help guide young mothers, so they can learn in an un-judgmental way.

Angry – Learing to Above all remain calm, talking along with decision making while angry is something that never ends very well.
