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 grew up in a Christian home and attended church all my life. I played church on Sunday’s and lived like the rest of the world Monday thru Saturday. I accepted the Lord at the age 10 but never really lived for him. Upon graduating high school I went to college and rebelled against God I knew what was right I just refused to do it because I thought my way was better. I chased after a girl that I thought I was in love with and everything hit rock bottom it was then that I re-dedicated my life to Lord. I have had my struggles since but the Lord has been faithful and blessed my life through all of it’s ups and downs.

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

Cielo Vista Church El Paso Texas taught Sunday School, college class, served as a deacon.

Rock Church El Paso served as Elder

Mosaic Church El Paso currently serving as an Elder.

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

Meeting my wife.

Adopting/Fostering a child.

Being mentored by Pastor Dr. Jesse B. Davis

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:

Losing a baby to a miscarriage.

A child we are/ have fostered being sent to live somewhere else.

Living for myself and not for Lord and how at first was fun, but was quickly gratifying and unfulfilling.
