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 addicted to drugs, my entire family unit was being destroyed and i tried to commit suicide. I remember asking GOD to Save me from myself and He did, along with my family.

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

Calvary Baptist Church 3911 Garrison Blvd, Baltimore Md. (1984 -1991)
Sister of Missions, Choir, taught New Members Class; Vacation Bible School, Culinary Ministry, Hospitality, Finance Room and the Aids Ministry.

Minister
Choir Member
Missionary Society

Victory Ministries of Christ 240 N. Hilton Street Baltimore, Md. (2009 – 2014) (2016 –
New Members Class

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

At Calvary, my former pastor prophesied that GOD was calling me to teach His Word to others.

At Adams Chapel began to minister ( with my Pastor’s Blessings) the Word of GOD to my family and friends and watched the Lord change their lives.

At Victory GOD gave me Pastors who teach, preach and prophesy HIS Word, which has helped me to grow.

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:

I helped to destroy my family and watched GOD rebuild it.

I was addicted to drugs and alcohol and the Lord cleaned me up without rehab. If He did it for me, He can do for others.
