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

I grew up going to a Christian school in Delaware from preschool to 12th grade. In third grade I accepted Jesus into my heart on the playground with my friends. I’ve strayed and have lived a life lost but found my way back to Jesus and loving the word after my divorce and a very toxic relationship.

Higher Vision, Santa Clarita, Danced, less than 1 year

I was blessed to grow up in a Christian school. I had Bible classes and teachers who wanted to see me succeed. This really motivated me to be the best I could be.

I danced from a young age and had a lot of performing experiences at big ballet studios and Disney. I consider myself driven with a lot of perseverance.

I grew up in the church as my Mom has always been the choir director or piano/ organ player at every church we were a part of.

I’ve struggled with medical issues growing up. A rare bone disease this has taught me to push myself and to not always listen to what people tel me but try things without fear. I’ve overcome obstacles doctors, family members and friends didn’t think I could. I believe this has given me the drive and passion I have for life and it’s contagious once I get to know a person .

I got married young and had my ex husbands family take control of my life. I’ve overcome feeling like I couldn’t do anything and forgetting my potential to moving on stronger than ever

This can be negative but positive. My closest family member is 3,000 miles away. I’ve accomplished and overcame a lot of challenges on my own with a support system so far.
