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 grew up knowing God, but never really started getting close to him until about nine years ago. My teen age years were full of rebellion and lead me down some wrong paths. I became a mother at a young age and was married young as well. I wasn’t sure I was ready for that journey and walked away from my marriage and my son. I found myself into drugs and alcohol. God found me in this dark place and lifted me out of the pit I had climbed into. I started attending a wonderful life giving church and began a relationship with Jesus.

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

I served in the children ministry at Impact church for about 3 years
I also served in the children ministry at Destiny church for about 1-2 years
I now serve in the Special Needs Ministry at Bayside church and have for about 1-2 years

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

Becoming a mom

Being a Preschool Teacher

Working with special needs students

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:

going to jail

going through a divorce
