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

Ninth grade, attended a Bill Rice Ranch weekend retreat and realized that I was a sinner and separated from God. Admitted I was a sinner, believed that Jesus was the Son of God and confessed Him as Lord. Never been the same and want to tell others!!!!

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

CFBC – pre-school and kids ministry for 14 years

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

My dad “breaking the mold” and not following in my grandfathers footsteps as an abusive alcoholic. He raised me and my brothers in the church and will always be my hero and role model.

Olivia’s bone marrow donor and transplant. We prayed relentlessly, as well as many others, for God to bring us one that would save her life and God did.

My Naval experience in submarine duty and as a navy diver. One of the toughest and hardest things I have ever had to endure but God saw me through.

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:

Pediatric cancer with Olivia. I’m so much more aware of things now (I.e those with sickness, hurting, afraid, etc). Thought I was invincible until God brought me to my knees.

Wrapping It Up

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
