Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I finally met the lord in 2001. The gal that was head of the music ministry loved the lord so much and as time went on, one sunday I said to myself “I want what she has” and that was the beginning of my walk with the lord

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

My ministry was the food pantry. The Chapel, Grayslake, Ill 3 or 4 yrs. As the church grew ministries changed/evolved

I did sing in the choir which was only on certain holidays. That also changed as the church got larger

Greeter, that ministry was for nearly 11 years

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

Making new friends and having great conversations and learning learning learning

Going on weekend retreats. Listening to good speakers, enjoying to company of another christan

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:

Politics although I only experienced it once, it left a lasting impression. Notably not one of us is perfect.
