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

I was saved at 6 in a child evangalizm program at my church and have followed Jesus ever since. Cont. to grow and attempt to challenge myself spiritually.

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

Have sang in choir since childhood at the church i grew up in . Have sang in church choir at presbyterian church in clarion and was part of worship team for the past 26 years at oil city community alliance , cornerstone church of clarion and Zion in clarion.

I was children ‘s ministry coordinator at oil city community alliance church for 1 year.

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

I grew up on a farm with a very loving family and parents that were devoted (not perfect) christians that loved me unconditionally.

Singing and sharing God through music has always been a joy and love to hear that any music I help with points them to God.

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:

As a teen I was bullied verbally and not really accepted socially. I have a birth defect that is not obvious . Turners syndrome and I am infertile . I have compassion for those issues.

I was very sick in 2017 and scared . Had a crisis of faith . I can relate to those who are going through health difficulties and the mental challenges / struggles that it can bring. Also marriage struggles as a result of this.

My mothers diagnosis of parkenson’s and dementia has been very difficult . Also loss of my father to cancer.
