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

Grew up in a Christ loving family. I accepted Christ when I was a teenager coming back from church camp. I finally realized it is a personal one on one relationship. I then got baptised when I was in my early 20s.

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

I have helped feed the needy through happy feet, i went once in High School

Compass Church helped in the kids area last summer (2018)

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

Church Camp through life connection church when i was a early teenager.

Meeting and Marrying my wife. She is always there for me to talk and help me turn my focus on God.

Growing up with my parents they were always there to hold me accountable.

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:

Working in the logistic business having to drive a truck and do home deliveries.

Playing 2 years of college football with a very negative hateful coach

I love my brother but living/growing up in his ‘shadow’.

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
