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 have always had a sense of spirituality in my life, ive realised that i was missing a crucial component in me that must have come from somewhere. Philosophically and scientifully i realised more of the need of a creator with a distinct character.
God of the Bible fitted that.
I learnt more about Jesus and what he did, i responded to that and have experienced a miracle filled life.

Going to the Philippines and seeing brokeness and peoples deep spirituality and cry to God in their need.
Picking up a man from the stolen generation and hearing his life story and praying for him.
Another time i went to lismore and spent time at the soup kitchen to eat with people, really moved me.
Spiritual formation: telling life story to intentional group that encourages and challenges you- through it at the age of 20 i was able to believe that God truly loves me.
Helping my dying nan breathe with a manual pump in the Philippines, i saw the beauty and sadness of life and death.
Moving to a town with no money and nearly having to live on the street save for people supporting me. It has given me a huge empathy.
Split with my parents because i chose to get baptised. Relationship with them has healed and has convicted me in my own faith to be bold in it.
