Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Brought up as a Christian. Always had a faith and from teenage years on pursued it by reading, going to different churches, Christian conferences.

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

Assisted with finance in parents church 50+ years ago.

P.A. to Pastor of Bromley Christian Centre, London prior to moving to Wales. Main tasks- writing letters inviting people to preach, arranging visiting preachers travel and programme, arranging pastor’s travel arrangements, organizing church conferences.

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

Getting married and learning how to stay married!

Having children, learning how to be a parent

Getting baptized in water and in the spirit. Praying with lots of different people over the years.

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:

Seeing a church that was dying kept going by one or two stubborn people until they wer forced to stop.

Experiencing a church split

Dealing with disappointment when prayers not answered – in particular when a close friend lost a baby (stillbirth).

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

Everyone Else After those
