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

Touch points by God over 40 years, brought me to a realization that He is real, who He says He is.

Valley Bible Women’s Ministry event coordinator

North Coast Carlsbad, welcome/book corner, baptisms, welcome desserts, events support, sending church member bday cards, calls to seniors, Co-House Manager, Coordinating annual Mission event, Family Support ministry, etc

OM Ships Int’l ministry, Short Term Mission team coordinator, Financial Development Events Coordinator, weekly Jail Ministry, etc

Being stretched by God while serving with OM Ships; int’l traveling on my own, serving to indigenous groups around the world, coordinating 100’s of events around the USA to raise awareness and funds for OM Ships and seeing God use these events to become the second most effective fund raising tool of the Int’l ministry.

Being used by God with a lady I met in jail ministry to bring to a decision of receiving salvation, which saved her life, reunited her family, brought he husband to Christ and they now both serve in their church, with Celebrate Recovery and within their community to reach homeless and battle against opiate addiction.

Coordinating Women’s events and realizing I don’t need to do it all. I learned the valuable lesson that God has gifted others with details and skills that don’t come easy to me and by trying to do it all, I am causing them to miss the blessing of using their gifts.

Divorce due to my second husband molesting my daughter.

Difficult situation with a co-worker, which taught me to recognize I had lived in quite a happy bubble growing up and not everyone has.

My mom (not a believer) thinking I was joining a cult when I was preparing to leave to serve with OM Ships. She had a BUNCH of questions and comments for me which ended up providing the best opportunity I ever had to share my faith with my Mom and sister.
