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

I grew up in a christian home and enjoyed and loved Jesus! My dad had so me relational issues I realized as I got into my teens years and I felt damaged. Then my parents divorced and I went off the deep end so to speak. I moved out at 16 years old and got pregnant at 17. It took years for me to come back to Christ. I had so much guilt and shame. I am so happy to be back serving my saviour and giving all that to him.

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

Volunteered in children’s Sunday school- Okotoks, Alberta

Volunteered connecting with new church attenders, visiting them and giving them a welcome gift.- Okotoks, Alberta

Volunteered at church fun functions with random things.

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

My mom’s love towards me and her faith.

Being immersed as a child in everything christian. We went to church every week, volunteered, attended church camp, VBS, rallies, christian concerts, youth group.

My child I had, I loved and still do love him so much. He has done a lot in keeping me grounded and helping me make the right decisions. My love for him drove me to want better things for him in life.

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 parents divorce and my parents behaviour after the divorce.

Being a single parent for a time and living in a poor state on and off. Having to work harder to be successful with hardly any support. Living for a time in low income conditions and seeing those around me.

My dads emotionally unstable, odd behaviour.
