Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, 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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born and raised going to church. I was baptized as an infant in the Nazarene church and was baptized as an adult around 1981 when I accepted Jesus Christ.

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

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

Gastric reduction surgery.

The variety of jobs that I have had.

Rev. Hal Kimmins was the pastor of our church when I was a teenager back in the early 1960’s. He felt that it was important for the teens of the church to experience different religions so that when we became adults we could choose which religion met our spiritual needs. It was extremely interesting and very progressive for that period in time. We visited many churches. Unfortunately, our congregation did not care for his progressive thinking and voted him out as our pastor.

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:

Two failed marriages. The first one leaving me to be a single mother of two kids with no child support.

Having a few friends and family to turn their back on me when I came out.

I had a miscarriage when I was married to my second husband that lead to me needing a hysterectomy.
