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

Raised Baptist. Was saved at 7 years old.

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

RBC, Broken Arrow, OK, Receptionist, Prayer Group Leader, Prayer Lines Admin., Church Secretary, RBTC Admissions Secretary 20 years total

RBC volunteered in nearly every area but Youth and Prayer Room, Audio.

Taught two classes at RBTC Norway.

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

Moving to Broken Arrow to attend RBTC, attended Prayer School under Patsy, Keith Moore and Rev. Kenneth Hagin! Changed my life.Served 20 years at RBC.

Became a wife and mother at the same time! It was positive, it was. Haha

Made the best heart friends like LAMS, Heehee

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:

Became a mother of three. One child was (We were unaware of this until later) was treated improperly by a relative. This has been the most tortuous experience in my entire life. Has caused extreme pain with this family. But God is faithful
Lost a baby with Mårten.

Staying faithful in ministry even when it hurts. Watching my husband get demoted and staying faithful.

Growing up, moved many times. Always had to be the friendly one, reaching out to make friends. It’s made me the one that can reach out to make others feel welcomed.
