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

My dad staying in my life and never giving up on me.

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

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

My step mom staying by my side through everything and not giving up on me like my own mom pretty much walking away from my brother and I.

My dad always being there for me when I needed someone to talk to and always pushing me to do better.

Working as a resident assistant helping and talking to the elderly. It will definitely humble a person.

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 dad passed away. It broke me but there was also an amazing experience at the sometime he was passing. A very calming peace as if they were letting us know he was going to heaven.

My mom coming in and out of out lives for the last 30 years. It definitely made me be a better mother because I didn’t want my kids going through what I had to.

Seeing my brother and his girlfriend do drugs and watching their kids struggling. I try to step in when I can to help them out and take them when need be. Hope they see how much we love them.
