Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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 raised know Christ. so hes been a part of my life for as long as I can remember

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

Higher D. Driver…. New Mt Calvary Music/Choir .

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

Me joining Higher D has had the largest impact on my life. Being under Pastor & Lady J”s leadership has allowed me to grow as a husband, Father, and man in the community

Me being a cook has allowed me to forge friendships that I have to this day

Me meeting and marrying my wife has kept me motivated to continue to grow and prove myself to her and our sons

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:

Coming from a split parent home hurt, but made me pledge to give our sons the opposite

not having a lot of guidance early on caused me to stumble early and often, but i am on the right path now, so i am patient with youngsters making mistakes

Not being consistent caused alot of Peaks and valleys, so i am very serious about consistency now

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

Everyone Else After those
