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 grew up in church, but chose to live life on my own terms while in high school. I got engaged to a man who treated me terribly and he dumped me flat on my face. I knew then that I needed Jesus. I gave my heart and life to him then. He has been Lord of my life ever since. I now have a beautiful life!

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

Moweaqua First Christian Church- moweaqua Illinois- high school youth director- on and off for 10 years

New Life Pregnancy Center- Decatur Illinois – intern, then volunteer. Internship- 6 months volunteer- a year and a half

Many churches over the years- small group leader- on and off for 20 years

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

My husband being healed of terminal brain cancer in 2009.

Having my four beautiful children

Marrying my husband.

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:

Struggling with a lack of self worth

Not having an emotionally present father

Living on a low income for many years
