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 a child, around 7 or 8 and just remember how excited I was about anything relating to Jesus and all the stories in the Bible. My Sunday school teacher asked if I wanted to feel even closer to Jesus and led me to the Lord in prayer. I felt changed at that young age. I strayed for many years but returned to my Jesus with the same excitement I had as a child and have never regretted it!

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

Kitchen, womens, children ministry at Delmarva Evangelistic Church, Salisbury, MD. 2 YEARS

Children’s Ministry, Live Alive Church, Salisbury, MD. 1 month ( new church at Civic Center)

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

I used rejection from my mother and sister as a reason to love people even more instead of making me bitter or hurt.

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:

I was abused and allowed it to happen for 5 years. I didn’t believe I deserved better because I chose the person to be with. But through prayer, I learned that my life was so much more without that.

My mother and I never had a good relationship. My sister has always stated she hates me and I let trying to please them consume my life because I didn’t think I was supposed to break free from them because they were my family. I now know that God loves me, I can’t let people define my worth, only my Father in Heaven has that right. It makes me drawn to the people that feel rejected.
