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 grew up in a Christian home, was baptized at age 12, strayed from my faith during my teens and 20s, developed bulimia that I struggled with for 30+ years and alcoholism during my 50s until 461 days ago when I surrendered it all to God

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

Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church – library/book store, Sunday school teacher, Bible Study Discussion

CanCare – cancer support group, hospital visitor

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

meeting my soulmate Bob when I was really struggling with relationships

entering Radar Institute in-hospital program for my eating disorder at age 29

letting go of alcohol and bulimia 461 days ago and going through the Re:generation program at Faith Bible Church

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:

struggling with addiction
