Team

Routine

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

when I was a young girl my step parent forced me to go to church. i never new a thing about church i just went. I then got baptized as a young girl. I know I have had sins in life. 2017 I was getting married and my children have always went to the kids program at Fairlawn. so I decided to have Pastor Steve marry us. Again not knowing what church really was. He recommened some marriage lessons he was doing for 5 weeks. so my husband and I attened them. but I went further the word of God was so touching to me sitting in the church with everyone around me felt like home. I knew then this was my sign I must confess that I have sinned and ask Jesus to forgive and to come into my heart and save me. there was no turning back my husband and I then chose to be baptized.

I can not recall the name of the church but it was a Methodist church
location was in Bellefonte Pa on a small alley way called St. Paul street

God being my number one I have accepted this as an adult
the birth of my first child and becoming a parent, followed by the birth of 2 more children.

meeting my life partner, my husband, my best friend. even know it took a long time to find my soul mate God was there with me helping direct me.

my parents, I look back and can’t begin to thank them for the woman I am today. I have had some bumps, I have made poor choices but without them I would have been lost!

having a child at an early age ( in which today i wouldnt change her for the world), but trying to fight through my senior year of high school was not easy but I did it. i tell anyone i hear at young ages say they want a child to think twice and share my struggles.

not waiting until I met my soul mate my life long partner before having children.

moving around from house to house as a child never knowing what home really was!

2. My Relationship with Others
