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

I was raised, by a single mom and a dad who struggled with substance abuse, in a family that did not know Jesus as their savior, but thought they loved God and He forgave them for all they ever did no matter what. I had an emotional connection with God, but it was not until I had chased everything I had ever wanted in this world and still felt unfulfilled when I fell to my knees in my dorm room at my first college and felt guilty for my sinful nature before God and His Word. I prayed and pleaded for hours that He would just show me please what He wanted from me because I did not know. He did. I left that college, I flew home, was led to read the Bible, go to Church, worship Him with every choice of my life. I got involved in small groups, serving, and came to University of the Cumberland’s- where I learned about what it was to be in a community of believers.

Vineyard Florence KY- served where I was needed. It is a smaller church, so I cleaned bathrooms, served groceries to those who needed, filed cabinets, cleaned up. Anything they needed, I would help with. December 2019-Present (my home church)

7Hills Florence KY (December 2018-August 2019)

Having my Mom is my best experience. I could write for hours on her, but to summarize she raised me when nobody was on her side. My sister and I could never thank her enough for all the things she has given us. We have a perfect bond in the Spirit since she accepted Jesus October 2019. She is a blessing.

Discovering my love for God’s creation- exploring the world with traveling, hiking, running, gardening, taking care of animals, traveling to visit sanctuaries, to shepherd His land.

When God validated my love for art/creating through His Word.

Victim of Sexual Abuse

Addiction/Substance Abuse

Healing after being abandoned
