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 was deep in sin and my life was upside down. Every weekend, I would walk down to the corner, turn right and walk two blocks to the mall. But this one week,, God told me to walk straight instead of turning right. Two blocks straight ahead and I came to a Southern Baptist Church. I walked in and my life has never been the same since.

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

I have preached in churches at various locations and towns I. OR, WA, ID, MT & NE.

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

1. Had a head on crash where a car came across the center line to my side, and hit me head on. I had a TBI yet God saved me

2. I was driving a truck in MT and fell asleep. The !eft wheel went off the left side of the road, waking me up before I would have plunged 1,500 down canyon. My Guardian Angel had His hand on the steering wheel.

I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer, the same cancer that took my brother’s live. God saved me and I am cancer free.

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:

Listening to Satan when I knew better.

Visiting locations which I knew would temp me to to things I knew would keep me away from making right choices.

Not seeking a personal relationship with Jesus Christ when I had the opportunity years before.
