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’ve been a believer,druggie all my life . My mother DRUG us to church and I believed in God in my heart and spoke to the Jesus as though a close friend through prayer (mental and verbal conversation). Jesus was my BFF and my imaginary friend. I surrendered my life to Christ as my Lord and savior after 911. I believed that the world was ending and I wasn’t going to ‘be a saint in that number’ because I was living a back-sliding life. I knew God wasn’t pleased with me, but I didn’t know that my faith in him already bought me a ticket. I was a 10 Commandments girl (OT) and knew I broke them all.
