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 had grown up going to a Christian school and church all my life, so I knew about Jesus and had learned about the Bible. I was 16 and my youth pastor at the time was preaching about the wheat and the tears in Matthew (I think it was). Something just clicked with me from that message and I knew I needed to ask Jesus into my heart right then.

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

Ridgecrest Baptist Church Durham, North Carolina Ministry Assistant April 2017 – present

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

Getting married

Becoming a mother

My mom recovering from brain cancer (not necessarily the most positive situation, but positive in the sense that it\’s given me a new perspective/outlook on life and to really appreciate your loved ones. If you love someone, tell them every day because you never know when it could be the last day.)

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:

Struggling with a particular sin and coming out of that by the grace of God

I went through a time when I didn\’t go to church much, didn\’t spend time in the Word or praying, and didn\’t fellowship with other believers. Now, that has helped me empathize with those who say they are Christians but might feel similarly to how I felt.

Dealing with depression and getting better and out of that cycle.
