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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I accepted Christ at the age of 14 at the New Light Christian Center Church. Upon this change, I have been inspired by my relationship with Christ.

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

Inside Out Worship Center-Teacher/Facilitator for Christian Education, New Members’ Ministry Leader, 11 years.

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

1. Being able to serve in ministry encouraged my growth as a believer.

2. Being able to fellowship allowed me to connect with brothers and sisters in the faith and have a greater love and appreciation for His people.

3. The Bible studies that I attended definitely sparked my zest for God’s Word.

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:

I can sympathize with youth who are struggling with low self-esteem because I struggled with that in my youth.

Reconnecting with father after being estranged for many years has helped me to fully understand the power of forgiveness.

Dealing with a lot people being against me at once has strengthened me and made me a tougher person, yet I can still empathize with others experiencing the same thing.
