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

The Lord spoke to me in a Christian Concert. I wanted the Peace and Joy they had, wanted Jesus to set me free, and He did!!

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

Assembely of God in Stevens Pt. Wi. 25 Yrs. Counseling and Youth, Also had my own traveling ministry with singers for Jesus

Bible teaching with youth in Wisc. I spoke at Woman’s Ministries in Wisc. And at Christian Coffee houses, & built a Coffee House in Wisc.

New Life Christian Center, St George Utah 3 yrs. Hosp. and home visits. Addiction Ministry, and Prison Ministry, Woman’s Ministry

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

The young Girl that lead me to Christ. Her commitment of Christian training and friendship, and to Jesus. In Iowa

Assembly of God in Wisc. Ministers Past or Bill and Ginger. Support and Love and encouragement

New Life Christian Center, Utah. Teaching of Pastors Javier and Ia, and their personal Friendship. So much encouragement and support. Best Pastors ever. What an example for us to follow!

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:

My very sad and hard marriage of 20yrs. However I found Jesus because of it. And found a reason to live a and teach other of Him

Loosing Friends that were much to young, and with one praying that her commitment was real with God. Caused me to love on others. Love keeps us going and feeling Jesus brings security

Many physical surgeries and illness caused me to look up to my Healer, actually cause me to have more faith, and encourage other that were hurting in anyway.
