Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

When I was around 5 years old I asked Jesus to come into my heart. I don’t really remember a time that I wasn’t a Christian. I grew up in church. I went through times where I drifted away from God, but I have rededicated my life and come back to my core beliefs that I have had since I was a child.

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

Third Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, AL: Youth Director, VBS teacher, worked with preschool

Cascade, Columbus, GA: VBS worker

Epworth Methodist, Phenix City,AL

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

Growing up in a Christian home with parents who had a strong spiritual impact on me.

Raising a daughter on my own.

Meeting and marrying a strong Christian man who has shown me what it means to truly be in a biblical marriage.

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:

Divorce that stemmed from abuse, abandonment, and adultery.

Being left with an enormous amount of debt and seemingly no way to pay it off.

Having to have a hysterectomy when I wasn’t through having children.
