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

Started as a child at church camp —Then with my Mother help I grew as a christian — when I was about 33 yrs old I made a full commitment to GOD with my life —through out the years GOD kept a close hold on me to love by serving —Reading my Bible and studying his word helped me to better serve others —Praise GOD every day that he died for me

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

Reedsville church on Rt. 183 served there for many years as a teacher and leader —went there as a child with my mother —married there —loved it —this is where I was when I got serious about serving GOD

Helped to start another church when I was in my thirty’s —Cov. Baptist Church –out of Sch. County ( it failed due to the Pastor straying with another women ) served as a teacher, deaconess, soul winner on the streets of Sch. County

Grace Free Church, Cressona since 1985 (not sure of the year) —served as a teacher —nursery leader —deaconess

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

Being a wife —taught me how much I still had to learn about my self

Learning to serve others and Soul winning on the streets of Sch. County

Having 3 sons and leading others to CHRIST as their Saviour

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:

Not sure —GOD seemed to always pick me up when I needed it

Having a child died in my arms when I was about 19

Helping someone have abortion —it is very hard to except that I was part of this experience
