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

I didn’t become a Christian until I was in my 30s. The church I grew up in was very legalistic so I had a bad understanding of God. Never was taught grace and the love of Jesus Christ. Church people were hypocritical and judging when I was young. But my husband led me to the Lord by showing a way of love and grace . I can now explain God wants better for us and its a relational walk. Now I have a heart for hurting people. I have been there trying to fulfill an empty place with worldly things. All people hurt and need to know the love of Jesus. We need to share our stories of how we can overcome by learning Gods Word and applying it everyday. Walking with God in good days and bad to show His Glory in every story. To know we have a hope and future. God designed each one of us for a purpose and we need to share that with a hurting world.

Created the Weekly Church Bulletin (Pineforest Baptist Church) in Texas for 3 Years

Experiencing God Series

Grace Filled church members explaining the gospel in a real way

People helping me change old habits by loving and sharing their stories

I do not like legalistic churches that preach a gospel based on sin. This way is hurtful it does not show the way Jesus loved. It grows a bitterness and destroys God Word.

Taking scripture and changing the way it reads. This produced a bad experience for me growing up. So now I make sure that if scripture is out of context it can be corrected to not discourage believers.

Loving on the unloved. This is messy but we have to love all people and not destroy relationships. We have to plant seeds of love and care. Sometimes its a kindness that a hurting person can experience to change their life. This is hard to do but there is a way to show love even if it means getting a little messy sometimes.
