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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in church. When I was 5 I gave my heart to Jesus and wanted to be baptized and the adults had conversation about whether I was old enough. I was crying and loving Jesus, finally they let me be baptized.

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

Prayer Team Member 20+ years – Vineyard Cincinnati

Co-Taught Hearing God Classes and Co-Taught Contemplative Prayer – Couple Years – Vineyard Cincinnati

Small Group Co-Leader – 10 years – Vineyard Cincinnati

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

Going through Spiritual Direction Training – It connects with my heart so well.

A Godly mother that in the midst of a difficult childhood – always pointed me toward Jesus and His constant love fo me. Becoming a mother of 2 amazing children.

Marrying my husband – who is the most consistent lover of Jesus. He is a scholar of the Bible and grows deeper into relationship with Jesus and shares with others what God has given to Him.

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:

Abused as a child

A Father whose love was expressed inconsistently

Struggle with Perfectionism
