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 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

[E]xperience

I became a Christian at the end of my church\’s Vacation Bible School in July 1965. I was ready to accept Christ at the end of VBS in 1964, but I didn\’t feel I was old enough.

Greater Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church-Indianapolis, IN-1957 to 1994-Church Clerk, New Member Orientation author and teacher, Choir president, Junior Missionary president, Sunday School secretary, Educational Board member. Christ Open Door Baptist Church- Indianapolis, IN-1994 to 1998-served as Youth Ministry supervisor, Adult choir member, Educational Board member. Antioch Church-Indianapolis, IN-1998 to 2001-served in the choir

Ecclesia Fellowship Church-Indianapolis, IN-2002 to present-Founding member, Church Clerk, Missionary President

Additional ministry Experiences – Consortium of African American Christian Women Board Member, Bridal Blessings Board Member,

I was blessed to have adult mentors and teachers when I was growing up who saw things in me I didn’t see in myself. They provided me the opportunities that laid the foundation for my life-long faith walk.

My first pastor and his wife gave me an excellent example of how marriage and ministry can be combined for the growth and glory of the kingdom.

When I lived out of town, a congregation took me under their wing and gave me opportunities to continue to use my gifts.

Came in contact with a minister who had no problem playing fast and loose with the truth.

A church member lied about me and did several underhanded, manipulative things out of jealousy.

I was part of a ministry that lost its way and ended up betraying the original ministry focus.
