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

It wasn’t the big bang theory; I grew up in a very Christian family for generations which is a blessing I don’t take for granted

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

I have served on numerous committees for almost 40 years at Belin United Methodist church in Murrells Inlet

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

My marriage 41 years ago

The birth of my children which is the only miracle that I could assist God with in this earth age

The support and Unconditional love that I received from their parents previously and from my siblings to this 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:

The unexplained suffering and illness that occurs to fellow Christian believers and family members

Stealing theft from hard-working, honest, every day good people

That time is running out, ( we are in the age of the fig tree ! ) for the truth to be told/ spread

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. The salvation of as many unsaved as possible

4. With gods help trying every day to lead by example so the others may follow Christ

5. To know and recognize my family members and closest God-fearing friends in heaven; to have the joy of doing that I will live eternally with them and my Lord forever in heaven/the third world and heaven age!
