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

I grew up in a loving Christian home and was very involved in my church. I accepted Christ at a young age. It wasn’t until I was a freshman in high school that I began to make my faith my own, and with that came the decision to be baptized. Since then I have seen God work in my life and through my struggles. I have continued to grow in my relationship with God and deepened my involvement in church.

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

Sunday school at Blythefield Hills Baptist Church, where I grew up in Michigan. I did that for a few years in high school.

Wednesday night children’s ministry at College Wesleyan in Marion. I did that for a year after college.

Kids Kreek and Wednesday night children’s ministry at The River. I have been doing that since around last fall.

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

Traveling to Mexico on a missions trip.

Attending a Christian college that I was able to grow and learn from.

Being heavily involved in church growing up that provided me with solid, Christian life-long friendships.

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:

A fall-out with a very close friend of mine.

The loss of my grandpa.

Being affected by the bad decisions of a close friend and being involved/helping them through a big struggle.
