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.

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

[E]xperience

Living with my great grand parents for the summers while in elementary taught me how to pray, how to serve at church and how to read the Bible.

Rock of Faith Baptist Church Duncanvile, TX in the church choir all 4 years in high school.

Bell Union South Baptist Church in Winnsboro, LA. I served as helping my great grand father clean the church on Saturdays. This happened when I was in elementary school on summer breaks.

Being the oldest child has taught me responsibility and to help others.

Being self driven to attend church in elementary, middle & high school while living with my mom in Dallas who during those times where not going to church. I signed up with the neighborhood church to pick my siblings & myself up for church on Sundays up until I started driving us to church in high school.

Seeing my mom give so much of herself to others rather related to us or not. She had a big giving heart some things I knew of but when she passed away there were so many people who came to bless her children and shred how much my mom has blessed them. Even the job she worked for raised over $10,000 for her to help with her financial needs since she wasn’t able to work.

Not having my father growing up but when he was around up until I was 4 he was very abusive to my mom. So I understood at a young age that it was better we had no farther than one who would beat a woman.

Loosing my mom 5 years ago was very hard. I never knew she would leave this earth at the age of 48 yrs old. But I was able to experience the true peace of God that surpasses all understanding. The Lord was with me through it all and assured me that her & I will see each other again one day.

I have experienced a loss of my job which I am believing God to open another door since that one has closed. It has allowed me to do things to better myself, spiritually, physically and enjoy my husband and family without the stress of working.
