Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was taken to church as a child and as a college student, I questioned what my purpose in life was. The Holy Spirit led me to where I am today.

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

Young Couples teacher ~ First Baptist Church of Chatsworth (5years)

Widowed ladies class ~ First Baptist Church of Chatsworth (4 years)

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

Meeting my husband

Having a mother who was also my best friend for 21 years of my life

Being able to encourage others through being a school administrator

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 mother dying at a young age~3 months before I married

My husband’s spinal cord stroke that led to paralysis and a long road back to health

This is not negative…but hard at times. My mother-in-law lived with us for 13 years and we took care of her.
