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

I don’t have an “aha” moment. I just remember always knowing there was a good God.

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

Grace Church in Greenville NC, I was on the Missions Board, supported Carolina Pregnancy Center, taught Sunday school and helped with Wednesday/special night dinners, active in Circle of Grace (a women’s group), etc.

Unity Freewill Baptist Church, helped prepare and serve dinner to flooding victims, served with Women Active for Christ

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

Serving along side ladies of faith.

Being involved with like minded Christians.

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:

Growing up in a family, feeling oppression and fear daily.

Having friends back away when I was going through a divorce. (I know some people are uncomfortable), but it was very hurtful.

Feeling betrayed by family members.

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
