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

Reached bottom emotionally and realized that I loved God but hadn’t claimed his power of salvation for myself though I believed it for others and so I chose to say yes to all of Him.

Writing team/poet, 6 years, Warehouse 242 charlotte, nc

Hospitality team, 3 years, warehouse 242 charlotte, nc

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

Learning about how God has made me through a healthy community

Guy giving me a coke for my face after a car wreck- showed the power of small kindnesses

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:

Heart wrenching breakup, dissolving of dreams , and the feeling of Gods presence and sustenance in it

Post parting depression and how God guided me through
