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 Catholic family and went through all the sacraments but did not have a real understanding of a relational God. In school, I found my identity in others’ opinions, my image and eventually travel. After by brother died of cancer, I turned away from in the Lord in anger and went into a bit of a downward spiral, where I made many poor choices and ended up in an abusive relationship. At this point, I reached out for help in my local church and the pastor’s wife led me through accepting Jesus. From here, my life began to radically change and I began to learn about who God is and who he made me to be. I have shifted my life to focus on Christ and becoming more like Him each day and now live my life free of the things that had enslaved me because of my salvation in Him.
