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

One of the most stressful times in my life, raising triplets and the finances went away. I was so overwhelmed and discouraged. A co-worker took me aside and asked if I was down as I could be. I answered yes and her reply was it’s time to look up. She then led me through the salvation plan and asked me if I would accept God’s plan of salvation and give God the steering wheel of my life. I said yes

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

Was a shepherd in Sunday School, North Coast in Vista CA 1995 through 2008 until my son was diagnosed with leukemia. Worked at Birth Choice in San Marcos CA for 12 years as a counselor. Was a children’s leader in BSF for several years in Vista and then in Chula Vista till 2003 when my husband asked for a divorce. Have been a Growth Group and Life Group leader for women now sure when the groups started on THe Divine Mentor and Military Wives Support Groups.

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

God’s amazing care for me and my family when my son was going through Leukemia. God’s care for me through years of depression including a miracle with my psychiatrist that is crazy amazing. God’s care of me through my divorce.

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:

catholic chaplain while serving as a Navy Nurse tried to rape me.

Unkind words from a pastor

Lying of another church leader
