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

Jesus pursued me under a table in the dark at a charismatic Christian summer camp in Brussels, Belgium my junior year of high school. I came from a very broken household and did not understand and was hostile towards love. I have a strange and confusing abusive backstory.

Hillcity Community Church/ Lynchburg, VA/ 1.3 years attender/ kids ministry volunteer .5 years

Carolina Creek Christian Camps/ Huntsville, TX/ summer worker/ camp counselor 1 summer

McLean Bible church/ Vienna, VA/ 2016 intern, volunteer and attender for 4 years/ communications & young adult intern 1 summer

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

Sports and the confidence it builds

interning at McLean Bible Church

discipling troubled students at Carolina Creek
