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

Grew up chatholic then got dissapointed Move on to pentcostal (non demonatial) Walked away for a long time did many bad things Recommited My life to the Lord and Now I am back and lovin every bit of it.

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

Ashland Assembly of God.

Ashland, Wisconsin.

Worship Team for 9 Years

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

Feeling the presence of the Lord at Ashland assembly. The Holy Spirit was always thick in that place.

His presence was so awesome you could feel him walk up and down the isles of that church. and his fragrance was amazing he was always there and I felt so good after every chuch serve and throughout the week following. Life was Good!!!

Music ministry at crossroads. Would get a group of us together for 2 full hrs of just live worship music . Just sing to the Lord and see what happens. The new songs really flowed out there. His prescence was beautiful there. The Lord had the oppertunity to be who he wanted to be there. open to the public to come and go as they pleased. it was wonderfull.

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:

Was with a man for 16 years who was abusive when he drank to much wiskey and cokes and I was the one he came after.

Experimented with a lot of drugs and alcohaul Became addicted and was an alcoholic for many years.

Started to meddle with witchcraft. Read some of the Satanic Bible and began to get involved with same sex and group sex relations. Did many Bad things to try to find that happiness I once had but could not find. That was my Life For a long time.

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. Minister to many with a new song just for them straight from the throne room Of God

4. Missions Trip would be amazing.
