Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was brought up in a non Christian home. I have always believed in God as a child I would pray each night before going to bed. My husband and I had a period of eighteen months with Youth with a Mission. This was where I experienced the power of prayer and Gods faithfulness and reliance on Him.

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

Youth with a Mission 18 months

One Church 1 year serving on the welcome team 2017-2018

Baptist church 1 year serving with the children’s Sunday School.

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

Meeting and marrying my husband Mark

The experience of working with Youth with a Mission

Insight and understanding from these 3 professions that I worked hard to obtain. Nursing, Social Work, Mental Health Nurse.

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:

Facing discrimination and racism

Beareavement, personally and working in a children’s hospice

Experienced and witnessed, poor Christian pastoring or discipleship
