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

Grew up in church, but lacking an actual, personal relationship with Christ. When I was 19 I was in a really low place and started focusing on reading and understanding the Bible on my own. After realizing that the peace and security I needed could only be found in Christ I started regularly attending church again.

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

Praise Team at CTAC for ~4 years

Sunday school and nursery leader/helper at CTAC for ~ 8 years

Sunday school teacher at Faith for 1.5 years

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

Becoming a mom.

“small group” relationships.

Getting married.

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:

Having a stillbirth.

Growing up in a “Christian” home, but having a poor example of living in the freedom of Christ.

Watching people close to me struggle with anxiety and depression.
