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

My sister spent a year reading the bible to me when I was 10 and then prayed with me to accept Christ. She brought me to church where I landed in a youth group in junior high and allowed me to establish deep roots in my journey of faith

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

Cornerstone: small group discussion leader for junior high girls
Co facilitator in a womens bible study of 30 women

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

My sister who was 8 years older than me who helped mentor me and process major life decisions through junior high, high school, college and into marriage

My youth pastor who shepherded me and brought me into his leadership team in HS

A bible study teacher who demonstrated genuine love, grace and encouragement to me as a young mom

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:

an occasional bible study teacher who was judgmental and lacking authentic love of Jesus who focused primarily on enforcing rules. This made me want to be very careful to demonstrate love as much as humanly possible whenever serving in ministry
