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

I always knew that I needed Jesus in my life, however I was not raised in the church. I have had past experiences that really propelled me toward a life in Christ, and for Christ. Though there was never really an aha moment so to speak, I decided to submit my life to the Lord and his will.

Cafe barista Springbrook Church Lake in the Hills, IL 2 years.

Being married to my soulmate/ love of my life. He is one of the most integral driving forces behind my finally coming to Christ.

The birth of my son.

Being increasingly blessed so that our family may be more of a blessing to others.

Experiencing the loss of friends at a young age in different ways, so each new experience was a learning experience as I grieved differently for each.

Experiencing the miscarriage of my first pregnancy.

Having an anxiety disorder which kept me from experiencing many things and actually worked against my walk with Christ as I had not been saved at that point.
