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 have been coming to church since I was born, although I haven’t always been at Central. There were a couple of years where we went to a different church and camp back because we felt more like family at Central. I have always believed in God but it wasn’t until I actually went to a private school, Grace Lutheran, where I learned about Jesus at school.

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

I am apart of a non-profit called “Young Life”

I am apart of the children’s ministry at Central Christian

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

When I fell off people encouraged me to come back to church and Jesus

When I am at church it is just a positive experience in its entirety

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:

Getting my appendix out was really hard and I felt extremely discouraged/negative because the recovery took longer than we were hoping for, my incision for my umbilical hernia got infected and I was in pain for awhile

I fell extremely hard on my back a couple of years ago and I had the hardest time with that because I was in pain for months, sometimes even now I will get extreme pain.

Seeing my friends no longer believe in God or sinning against Him and not caring about it even though they call themselves christians.
