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

I grew up in the church and when I went to college I occasionally went to church. In 2008 I had a rough breakup, I couldn’t find a job after graduation, and I had moved to a new city. I really had to return to my roots and get connected to God. I decided to get rededicate my life to Christ and get baptized for the first time on 9/28/2008.

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

I was in young adult ministry at Zion Missionary Baptist church in Atlanta (1 year)
I was in young adult and small group at Destiny Church (2 years)

I was a usher, youth ministry leader, and covenant couples (marriage ministry) at Christian Faith Fellowship in Zion, IL (5 years)
Financial Peace member Cross Point Newport, RI (10 months)

Military Spouse Small group (6 months-present)- New Hope Community Church, Chula Vista, CA

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

Listening to God and returning to Chicagoland area to work and go back to my hometown church.

Completing Ministerial Prep, I learned so much about the church, Bible, ministries, and I was able to learn how defend my faith.

Time of prayer and fasting before I started dating my now husband.

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:

Living in Atlanta was a time where I was so back in forth with God, I was lost, doing things that I knew I shouldn’t have been doing.

Having two abortions were devastating to me they were 4 years apart but I was so lost and confused at the time.

My grandmother being killed in a car accident right in front of me. I was crushed because that is who I called mom, that is who raised me, and I couldn’t imagine my life without her.
