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

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 raised in the Lutheran church. Baptized and confirmed and when I was 19 I went to a revival meeting with a girlfriend, after a tough breakup with a boyfriend.
I was saved at that revival but, never taught anything about the Bible.
6 years later, my husband and I had an encounter with a small town Baptist church that taught the Bible and the church family reached out to us and the rest is history!

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

I served as a Food Pantry Organizer at a church in Minnesota. I currently serve on the BBC Prayer Team. Tim, my husband and I have held an in home Prayer Group to Pray for our Country.
I’ve served with BBC Women’s Ministry. IF and 512.

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

I’m a Step-Mom to a 39 year old, a Mom to 2 33-year olds & a 31 year old.

Grandma to 3 little girls!

I’ve lived in 6 States and traveled within the USA quite a bit.

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:

I am the daughter of a functional Alcoholic. My Mother.

My Father was killed in an auto accident when I was 22 years old.

I have 2 older sisters that live in 2 different States ( Michigan and Tennessee)
