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 first received Christ about age 10. Then I ran for years due to being taught only about Gods rath. His glory was not talked about in our church school so I ran hard and fast. Then in my lates 20’s I found my path back, yet not living in his will but in my own. When I turned 40 things took a drastic change in my life and I blamed God and ran again. I am 48 and have found my way back to God This time I desire to be all in for my Lord and savior because he has always been all in for me!!! Even when I denied his existence! Thank You God for your grace and mercy for sending your son to Earth to take my place on the cross. Lord please help me to lead, guides d raise my daughter to always trust in you!

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

Youth Methodist church 2009-2010

Youth group camp 2016

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

My Father getting sober and finding his way back to a relationship with God. He inspires me everyday in so many ways.

My mother finding sobriety 2-3 years before her liver failed her! She was so strong and had a lot of faith!

Fighting my way through an eating dosorder.

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 parents addiction and alcoholism!

My exhusbands alcoholism and addiction and his affair. His violence and the journey of being a single mom! Learning to forgive and to let go of all the anger, resentment and pain.

I started hanging out with a crowd of new age people in the middle of fighting for my marriage soon I found myself cling more to the teaching and ideas more than Gods. I guess I did not want to take ownership for my part in our failing Marriage. I quit doing the Love dare half way through and tried some of the ideas they made. This was my descion and I have no one but me to blame I knew things I was doing were not of God!!!!! It was terrible and a long rocky road back to God.
