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
When I was a child, I heard about Jesus’ love for me and that I could go to heaven one day if I accepted Him as my personal savior. I wanted to go to heaven with Jesus and not be afraid to die. I was 11 years old.
Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene, Tucson AZ, 15 years in worship arts ministry, women’s ministry and missions ministry.
Flowing Wells Baptist Church, Tucson AZ, 3 years in music ministry, kids ministry, A.W.A.N.A. and women’s ministry.
Mountain View Baptist Church, Tucson AZ, 5 years in music ministry, kids ministry, A.W.A.N.A.
2011 – My first mission trip to Honduras with the Jesus Film ministry, touched my heart at being able to serve God in other cultures and see Jesus calling people to Him there.
Learning how to use computers at my work in the Postal Service and being able to help and teach others how to use computers. It gave me confidence.
Having children and raising 4 of them. That has taught me more patience, and helped me understand how God sees us as we walk on this earth.
Through two divorces and difficult marriages, I have learned that I cannot change another person – its only God that can change someone.
My brother who lets his rage go out of control and is violent, both physically and verbally has made me protect myself and my loved ones from his impact on our lives.
Suffering a mis-carriage early in my life has given me great compassion for other women in similar circumstances.
