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 really can’t say because I have been going to church from the time I was 6 years old and I always felt a closeness to God I was baptized at age 12. I would read the bible and if there was a word I didn’t understand I would look it up in the dictionary.

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

choir, usher at my former church in Newark, Goodneighbor baptist church

Shiloh, temple servant, prayer warrior, bereavement ministry, first fruits, childrens ministry, choir etc.

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

1. learning and growing up around strong positive women.

Learning about God from my father, he would all ways tell us he was our earthly father and God was our heavenly father.

Learning from life experience, and the neighborhood where I grew up we where all family and everyone looked our for each other.

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:

somethings I just can’t talk about now.

physical abuse

poverty
