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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Baby sitter invited my wife & me to a play called Heaven’s gates and Hell’s flames and the Lord broke my very stony heaart.

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

Head Deacon, Asst. Chaplin in a local Hospital, Security manager, Head Greeter and Small Group leader. All at Manna Church of Sanford, NC..

Head Greeter at the Chapel at Fishhawk.

Member of a group of believers that went to several nursing homes, and local hospital

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

A play, Heaven’s gates and Hell’s flames, the Lord called me.

A Prayer partner at a church wide church couples retreat (twice)

The Lord just calling me to part of His body

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:

Grew up with out a dad. My dad died and I had trouble mourning. I asked The Father in prayer, why can’t I mourn for my dad, His answer was, I am your Father, you need no other.

Mom tried to force me into being a Seventh Day Adventist believer. Just couldn’t go there. Now I know why. Jesus is all I want.

Porn addiction since childhood. The Lord used me (while still addicted) to try to reach other addicted people. I am now free from this addiction, but it’s been a long road.
