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 Catholic Church. Toward my last year in Miami I was not attending church regularly. I had a job where I had many responsibilities in spite of only having the title of Recreational Therapist.

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

I taught Religious Education to Elementary students for 5 years.

Co partnered with another member of my church and we would do the Children service, the kids would come to the smaller area where we would explain The Word with props and make coming to church more interesting manner.

I was part of Emaus Group for Married Couples. I was invited to speak on Radio Peace about my experience when I attended 4 day Retreat.

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

My experience when I was a member of the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts (Explorer co ed group).

My parents volunteer time with Crea Group in PR for woman with substance abuse issues.

My experience with Special Populations.

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:

Lack of positive feedback from my Mom.

Seeing my grandfather and my aunt battle Cancer.

My first marriage
