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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

Baptized at young age, around 9 during VBS. Attended church , only when I had a child with a chronic illness, did I get on my knees and give myself to The Lord. Many years I was very self-absorbed, God got my attention.

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

No experience, with the exception of working in VBS 30 years ago.

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

My Mother and my Grandmother taught me and raised me in the church, but not until faced with things I could not control, did God become first.

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:

My son Chip’s illness of MS and Moya-Moya and strokes at the age of 23, did I realize I couldn’t handle this by myself. Chip had been a healthy college student and father of a 6 month old. And in a split second, our lives were changed forever.
