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 felt the need to get my children in church and then as I heard the messages and the minister shared with me I realized I was lost and needed the Savior.

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

Farmdale Church of Christ- 26 years- Singing, leading praise teams, teaching children and in women ministries, and involved in outreach ministries.

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

Marrying my husband

Becoming a mom

Serving in church

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:

Grew up in a home that had mental illness. It shaped me to be intuitive to others moods and feelings and I have been able to help others who have had to deal with these same issues.

Pregnant at a young age and has helped me understand what young teens deal with.

Dealt with three miscarriages and loss of many family members which has allowed me to be sympathetic to others as they deal with loss.
