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 was sent to church as a child, alone; the only one in my family to attend. Later I went to church during college and after getting married.

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

Peace Lutheran Church, Hurst TX – Sunday school teacher, children’s music leader, VBS teacher and leader

Light of the World, Keller TX – Sunday school teacher, helped with Women’s Ministry planning and events, Puppet Ministry

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

Teaching Vacation Bible School, because attending when I was a kid made an impact on me

Small groups that I attended with my husband, so that we could relate to other couples

Serving alongside friends at 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:

Disagreements with church members that we were able to move on from
