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 the church, however, my first encounter with Jesus was when I was around 11 or 12 when my family and I were homeless and the Lord brought us through.

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

Lake View Terrace Americam Baptist Church

Sylmar, Ca

Youth choir (10+years), young adult praise team(2+years), mass choir(12+years), Shekinah Praise dancers(12+years), Karar Praise dancers(3years)

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

Being apart of a praise team allowed me to not only sing praises to God, but it brought forth discussions on Who God was and is. It definitely aided in how my character was developed.

Being apart of a praise dance team taught me how to minister and how to worship in different capacities.

Being involved in different community groups allowed me to become more community oriented and it allowed me to get to know people of all kinds.

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:

Going through homelessness helped me to have compassion on those who are homeless.

Losing a great amount of loved ones helped me to sympathize with those who have also lost loved ones.

Graduating college later than my peers allowed me to become more patient with my process and my processes throughout my life and with others.
