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

Various Awana/youth groups with friends as a child drew my hear to Christ. A troubled childhood and teen pregnancy and marriage with subsequent separation and drug abuse pulled my heart to the world. The Lord drew me back to Him as a 19 year old in jail. Our faithful God has given me 26 years of marriage, 20+ years drug free, and a deepening understanding of His goodness.

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

Various children’s ministries, small groups, dinners, community out reaches like yard work etc.

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

Life conference in Kansas City, KS with MAC.

Working with middle school kiddos in DC with a Christian Tour Guide.

Breakfasts with a small group of ladies where we discussed biblical truths that impact us.

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:

Sexual Abuse as a child and teen

Growing up in a home with a single mom who was a drug addict and alcoholic.

4 years of on again off again marriage separation.
