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

I grew up in church and going to camp Bethlehem every summer. Was told and worshipped with Rural Oslly every summer. He was a great-leader to bring youth to be saved and understand the Bible and way to Christ. I accepted him as my savior at 13 and have followed him since that time. I was a stronger Christian as a youth than as a adult. I believed it was and is my responsibility to teach the way to my children and grandchildren. I was raised to be at church and every time the doors were opened and we were there. My children are now adults and have chosen to follow my lead as christians. I have a desire to learn the Bible all over again as an adult if that makes sense. On a more educated level. I do enjoy reading my grandchildren’s bible story books to them

I came from a divorced family with a strong mother of faith and a father who was successful and shared in our success. He was not always involved in our lives but supported us. We were a very close family We always had fun and we loved being together. We were different because when my parents divorced no one was divorced. My mom was a driven person and they both wanted the best for us. I met my now deceased husband at 17 as my youth minister. Yep that’s right and we knew that was a no-no. We dated 4 years and were married for 25. We had our ups and downs but we loved each other through it. No one gave us anything. We worked for it and made it on our own. He taught our children a strong work ethic. We became an even stronger couple and family when he was struck with ALS. Devistated is not the word but it helped my children as well as myself to grow in our relationship with Christ as we worked through his sickness and ultimate passing. We never thought that anything bad could or would happen to us. The year after he was diagnosised my son who was a great athlete and was on a radar for a d-1 scholarship broke his leg and all the ambitions were crushed. Thattoohelped us work through disappointments and what would be next thoughts for him. I month after my husband passed his father who was very close to my children was run over by a car and killed. Once again with we’re forced to rely on god for our strength. We are so happy and grateful for there tragedies that have happened even though so very hard. We know where we are going and who will be there when we get there

Maybe my positives should have been negatives! Positives would be family, church, mother, deceased husband
