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

I was drawn to read the Bible from an early age but did not understand it much until I followed my husband to church and was just drawn to Jesus.

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

Teaching in Children Church

Missions to Cambodia

Street feeding programme in Malaysia

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

Hearing the testimonies of the old and young who love God and are willing to serve Him, no matter how simple the task, makes me want to serve others.

Feeling the immediate acceptance at a new church when our family first migrated to Australia reminded me that we should always love our neighbour.

Sometimes during worship, I can feel Holy Spirit’s presence and that is reassuring to know that God is always close to us.

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:

When my children were involved in a car accident, I was shaken up and realized that life is fragile but God loves us and promises to protect us.

And due to the uncertainties in life, there is no better time to serve God.

When I had disagreements with close family members, I try to be the peacemaker even though it hurt very much.
