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 a freshmen in Highschool and went to church with a a friend. I felt God moving on my heart and accepted him as my lord and savior.

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

Faith Celebration Church, Lakeland, FL : I served in children’s ministry, choir, and greeting.

Calvary Assembly of God, Ft. Myers, FL : I served in children’s ministry and for a short period of time as the children’s pastor.

I also served on a community outreach program in college called CHARGE- we went into the community and did a sidewalk Sunday school.

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

I had a mentor in college who took me under her wing and she encouraged me and helped me become who I am today.

My kindergarten teachers assistant played a big role throughout elementary school. She looked out for me and was always encouraging me through out school.

The older ladies at my church when I was a teen where always welcoming and willing to pray for us. They where like grandparents to me. It has shaped me into being a more compassionate person.

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 was never in the popular crowd and not always the chosen one for things. It helped me to have compassion for those who don’t fit in and feel left out.

I had a teacher who called me names and made fun of me for being slow at understanding and because of allergies in second grade. It has stuck with me and made me want to be the opposite.

My dad used to be an alcoholic when I was growing up and it led to my parents getting divorced when I was in middle school. This has helped me to be more understanding of those going through the same thing.
