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

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

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

I came to Christ as a young child. My mother is a Pastor and I come from a long line of missionaries and ministers. I always knew that I wanted to live for Christ. I love reading his word and I feel lost when I’m not in his presence.

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

Morgan Memorial COGIC Colorado Springs/Colorado 37 yrs

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

Seeing my children grow up and come to know and to serve the God of my salvation

Being a praise and worship leader

Being able to teach my children about the God I serve

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:

Being delivered from several abusive relationships and surviving to tell the story

My big brother passing away on his birthday, just six days before mine.

Having dealt with repeated rejection, low self esteem and low self worth
