Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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 touched by the spirit as a child. I had a miracle happen that saved my eyesight. I lacked in an up bringing of church so I didn’t have a clue as to the why. It’s taken a lifetime to understand the being baptized by the father and the son.

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

Crosscurent ministries NOVA. Board, worship,
Small group oversight and leader, children’s ministry, greeter, out reach. 15yrs?

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

God gave me a vision and allowed me to see it through. Opened a top salon business in Georgetown at 29, I was able to dedicate it to God in how ever he lead. I was able to implement the vision through that business of combating HIV globally with the UN Foundation. He then gave another vision of helping our nations vets through my craft and connections with leaders in our community. I was able to help a small non-profit expand and grow to help thousands of wounded veterans and families.

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:

overcoming a troubled childhood growing up In Baltimore and moving to rural Ohio as a kid.
Overcoming divorce and being wounded by the church and losing my business as an adult.
