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 taught in the ways of God at a very young age & I gave my life to God but I believe that I really started to understand Christianity & the things of God clearly around 14 or 15 & that’s when I believe I took serving God seriously for myself.

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

I served under my parents in young ministry at Jesus Is Lord Church of Delierance in Georgetown De for many years.

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

I would say that when I was 3 or 4 years old I would pray with my grandmother that God would save my mom. I didn’t understand what I was praying but I do believe that my spirit was in agreement because I felt good when I would pray this prayer & God answered my prayer my mom got saved & has been every since. I will always remember that God heard me when I was a little girl & that’s one of the reasons I know He’s real.

Also, when my biological father abandoned me; God sent a man that would be my father & has fathered me from his heart & this has shaped me into the woman that I am today & has blessed my life & guarded me from many troubles & evils.

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:

Think being abandoned at a young age has help me have compassion on others who have been abandoned & in my case everyone doesn’t get someone to full that void & do it from their heart but my heart goes out to people that deal with that because this really does affect a person life & psych.

Well I didn’t want this or never thought this would happen to me but I never wanted to be the broken hearted girl but some of this was my own doing & the other individual involved. That experience taught me something about myself & other things. But now I can be wise in guarding my heart & obey God & the people He’s put in your life & don’t tell desire & lust lead because it will need in disaster. I’m touched with others that have experienced this or when it’s my time is to share that I can help someone not go down that road.

Also, my past negative church experience like God was mad at me because I didn’t do this or that right or that I had to earn God’s goodness, or for God to continue to like & love me. This has given me great understanding of God’s grace, who He really is & that I am really His child no matter what. That the message of grace & mercy is key to how God feels about me & He don’t take it back!
