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 was 17 when the Lord came into my life. I was searching for some fulfillment and thru a young man. I trusted in my Lord and Savior over the phone. I thought i had to read the whole bible, but the young man told me all i had to do is trust in what Jesus did for me on the cross and repent of my sins. So that’s exactly what I did.

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

Assisting my pastor husband in bible studies at Grace Baptist church in Kankakee, Illinois

Volunteered in the children’s ministry (same church)

Worked for Bible League International for 6 years as Administrative and Coordinator for Latin America department.

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

Becoming a mother.

Moving far away from our families.

Having to deal with all kinds of denominations and being one in Christ.

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:

Having to deal with our daughter’s issues and come thru it- it has given me some compassion for other parents going thru something similar.

Having to be far away from our parent’s and siblings and learning only to depend on the Lord- He is the only one who brings me great satisfaction and joy!

Recently acknowledging that I was in a stronghold of offense & fear and giving it up and how the Lord has brought me out of it. He freed me 100% and how that gives me compassion for others going thru the same thing.
