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 became a Christian at 5 but when I was 13 I really started to grasp the importance of a daily relationship with our Heavenly Father. And the importance of every single day choosing to live for Him.

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

Youth girls, started with them in 6th grade and taught them till they finished 8th – CFBC

Bed babies (most current) CFBC

Awanas – multiple years a couple different age groups. (2’s & kindergarten)

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

My parents personal relationship with Christ and having us so involved in church.

Being a part of many international mission trips during my teen years

Attending liberty university

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:

My cousin and I are very close and we both had our first babies around thesame time. When her son was 15 months old, he unexpectedly passed away. Walking with her through the pain of that loss and struggling with my own fears of the same happening to me has given me a whole new view on parenting and those struggling with loss.

a very close friendship that ended and caused a lot of heartache and made me very scared to open myself up to other friendships. But without the pain and growth from that, I would not cherish the deep friendships I have now.

my in laws divorcing and other very close friends of ours having a spouse have an affair, it has made me all the more passionate about working hard for our own marriage and pursuing God and adam daily.
