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

My parents prayed with me at the age of 3 year to accept the Lord, and at the age of 9 I was baptized in water and received the gift of speaking in tongues.

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

I have been on staff at multiple churches over the years in administration, writing by-laws, purchasing and selling properties, music ministry, choir, and missions.

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

My husband was the best decision I ever made, and I believe God guided me to marriage with him.

My parents and grandparents taught me about the Lord from an early age, so my understanding of God was biblical, and gave me a health esteem for God and self.

My father taught me honesty with God, others, and self. I also love learning and am very curious. I see systems in everything and connected unrelated fields.

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:

I was severely bullied as a child and into High School. I recognize those who are being abused and move to help them, especially children.

I was sexually molested by someone in the church, so have learned the importance of absolutely following God, and how important integrity in leadership is.

I have often been misunderstood because of being an extreme introvert. I get my energy from alone time, and that give me energy and motivation to serve others.
