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

I grew up in a christian home but had a very difficult childhood. in those times of pain, i turned to God for comfort and help, truly not knowing if he will come through for me, but he always did, so i decided to dedicate my life to him on the 7th of April 2004

God fighting my battles for me in times where i was helpless, made know he will come through for me no matter what and in his time.

Other Christian sisters who stood by me in difficult times in prayer, friendship and support.

God delivering me from death in different occasions of my life

Seeing how society has treated single ladies as unfulfilled people and pressuring them to get married. This i have come to understand that, it is not until you get married that you are fulfilled, your fulfillment comes in knowing your purpose whether you are single or married.

Coming from the type of home and childhood i came from , i don’t want to raise my children like i was raised( unloved and abused) and this makes me have compassion on children and people who came from the kind of family background i was raised in.

My mother has fought depression for years which has affected her mentally due to the kind of family she has and the type of husband she married. I know within me i never want to be in the kind of situation she was put in and i am fighting never get to that stage in my life. Knowing this, it has made me more conscious of women in such situations, wanting to help in every way i can and also aware of making wise marital choices for me.
