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

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am happy being in a supporting role and getting things accomplished. I don’t mind being behind the scenes.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am interested in reaching those who are unchurched and letting them know that church can be a good place to be – without all the negative stereotypes that people have. I would like our church to have more of an outreach program – such as Faith and in-home visits.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy participating in projects that actually help people – assisting them with home chores, rides, etc. I already participate in Habitat for Humanity and deliver Meals on Wheels. I hope to participate in the Food Pantry once I am retired. It is hard to get involved in many things when one is still working full-time.

[H]eart

1. See children and youth enjoying worship and serving the Lord.

2. Visiting with older adults and letting them know that they are loved and valued – and that God has them still here on this earth for a purpose.

3. Studying God’s word in a meaningful way that opens the message of the Bible to me. I want to be able to remember what I studied – learn what the original language said and how those words impact me today.

Preschoolers or senior adults.

Political involvement and encouraging people to informed and vote. Missions education – would like to see more missionary resources available for all ages.

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

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.

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

I was raised in a Christian home and attended church from an early age. I made an early profession of faith and was baptized, but came to know Christ my savior at 15 and was baptized again. I have now been a Christian almost 50 years and am so thankful that He is my Lord and Savior and has stayed with me through hard times as well as good times.

Since my first husband was a pastor, I have served in numerous positions throughout 25 years of being a pastor’s wife. I’ve been church pianist when necessary – and also the organist. I’ve worked in the nursery and in children’s choir. Have served as GA camp counselor.

Leaving Dallas and moving to Louisiana in 1985 made me realize that people live in many different conditions and their cultural outlook affects the church and how it ministers. The church was located in a very poor community and racism was common. It was a challenge to lead the congregation to love all people.

Becoming a divorced, single mom at the age of 46 was the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced. It has definitely given me empathy with single moms and more sensitive to how the church treats divorced people. Many things that were targeted for “families” seemed to make me feel unincluded and like a failure.

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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

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.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have donated and managed several outreach events in the DMV area which has allowed me to donate to and serve the homeless, hungry, poverty-stricken. I donate to 501(C)3 orgs and churches so they are able to better serve the homeless regularly, cook food, prepare for food drives, teach computer and life skills classes to welfare-to-work programs, and write grant proposals for funding opportunities.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am able to evangelize at a moments notice, whether it’s through prayer, speaking, and communicating via social media, I uphold the Word of God and allow my behaviors to reflect favorable on my beliefs. I am constantly studying and learning God’s Word because the lesson is never the same, no matter how many times I read the same scripture. I use the spiritual warfare approach because I am better able to teach individuals and/or groups on how to identify and combating evil with the tools provided to us in the Bible via Bible studies, one-on-one sessions in person and via conference call. My approach to challenges is to use the spiritual warfare approach. I enjoy learning and showing others how to laugh at the enemy’s attack and not fear the affliction because it’s another feeble attempt of his to steal our joy, kill and destroy us. I am a spiritual mentor who is able to effectively approach affliction with the promises of God, our obedience to the Word of God, using scriptures that are easily applicable to day-to-day activities, and communicate the vision of leadership.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I use exhortation/encouragement to encourage so many people who come to me looking for comfort and the truth. I’m not one who will boldly stand on anything other than the Word of God. My testimonies about what and how God has delivered me through so much affliction as a battered woman, single mother, breast cancer survivor and one who has seen God’s work in others, I am able to share similar experiences and show how they align with God’s purpose or how it does not align with God’s purpose, in a loving, supporting, and caring manner.

[H]eart

1. I love to use my technical background to serve and teach. It is so delightful and worthwhile when I can share what I know to someone and watch their faith grow instantly. It is very rewarding.

2. I love to be with family and friends eating good food, singing karaoke and watching a boxing match.

3. I love working with individuals who can feel restricted and alone such as: nursing homes, senior’s facility, children’s with special needs or hospitalized. Whether it’s bingo, coloring, reading to them or bringing them a scrumptious plate of food, it is soothing to my soul to be chosen to assist those in need, and being able to allow God’s plan for me to manifest. It feels so good inside.

I’d love to work with adults of all ages when it comes to teaching basic, intermediate computer skills. I’d also love to work directly with senior leadership. I have a great abundance of Administration (overseeing), multi-tasking, and stepping up to the plate abilities that I can offer a very busy administrator.

I’m interested in learning to evangelize. I am licensed and ordained but would like to be directed to a church that is willing and able to develop me more. The only issue I had was that the time it took me to get a response from signing up for group took over 4 months from start-finish. I received a response when I communicated that I was no longer interested. A need that excites me is to have a cancer support group for the afflicted and their family members. As a survivor, it is a goal of mine to start a group someday. When I inquired, I was told to go to Glenarden Baptist Church for assistance. I ended up joining a group at my girlfriends church. I would have loved to have had support from my very own church during this challenging, confusing and painful time.

[E]xperience

I became a Christian around 9 years old when I was forced to live with my step-father who was white I(I am not) and I was called every verbally abused by adults and children often because of the color of my skin. I was bullied and threatened. I was reading the pamphlets that came in the mail called the Plain Truth Magazine that introduced me to a personal relationship with God. I called on God to remove me from this situation because I was in trouble every day due to fights. I prayed and cried and prayed and cried. God comforted me because I was not so distraught all of a sudden. I had a feeling that all would be fine, after every night, I prayed. One day, in a dream, I dreamed my mother showed up in a red car to get me. Months later, when school was out, that vision manifested itself just as the dream. I returned home to my community where I was accepted and loved. I knew then, that God was real and he answered. I continued a relationship with God until I was baptized at the age of 21.

The first positive experience from the past that made a big impact on who I am is the birth of my children

The second was my ability to stand-up for those who are fearful to speak for themselves and my big heart to resolve problems and/or comfort survivors of bulling, domestic violence and other various tragedies and share with them their power over evil through establishing and maintaining a relationship with Christ, continuous prayer and supplication.

The third is my need to serve the Kingdom of God by serving others by giving as much as I can, as often as I can.

Drug abuse: as a young adult, I have experience drug addiction and abuse of various kinds. I know how it feels to feel withdrawn, fearful, and to not know how to approach God with it. When I hit rock bottom, I called Him, he came, delivered me with favor. Everyone I got high with at that time, are not alive today due to drug-related problems and domestic abuse. But God, spared me, protected me, healed me, restored me and I know because I’m still here, he has a greater purpose for me and I am seeking Him to find and live in my purpose for the Kingdom, ’til I die.

The second experience was single motherhood. I got married young, did what I thought was honorable in God’s eyes and my marriage was full of verbal, physical and mental abuse from an addicted husband. God removed me from that situation and he went to jail. God was able to restore our friendship enough for us to raise our son and we are great friends today because God taught me how to forgive. Now, I have compassion for those who are experiencing domestic violence and I know that God was a better provider, husband and father to my children.

I have experienced so much jealousy, even in the house of the Lord. Sometimes I find the woman can be so vicious towards one another and new comers and that’s always been a negative experience as I try to merge into the House of the Lord to do my work. Such negative behaviors has run me away from committing to a church for many years and I was just fine being a spiritual hobo (roaming from church to church but don’t belong). Now, I’m hopeful that all of that is over with.

[E]xperience

an altar call when I was 8 years old Church of God fellowship

My employer hosted a birthday party for me when i was 16. One person she invited became my husband and friend.

When I was 4 years old my mother was sent to a sanitorium to be treated for TB. I was sent to a cousin I has never met. I was there for 2 years. It was positive and negative.I am not as social as my siblings that got to stay at home but had two sets of parents to learn from.

I had many Sunday school Teachers, Teachers, Scout, 4-H Leaders and caring adults along with family that helped shape who I am.

Leaving my family at 4 and feeling alone I am aware of newcomers to a group and make an effort to welcome them.

Growing up without access to preventive dental and health care I believe Christians should work toward all people especially children having health care.

I have made so many mistakes in my life I can often share them with people that are feeling down from making similar choices.
