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

I was raised in a devoted Christian home with both my parents and maternal grandparents under the same roof. But even at age 9, I understood my need for salvation to be mine in a personal way, not just as a legacy.

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

Long Hollow Baptist Church–2011-present (worship team, women’s ministry Servant Team, Bible study leader)

Springfield Baptist Church–1961 (cradle roll) to 2011 (worship team, choir, youth Sunday School teacher, Bible study leader, VBS leader)

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

My Christian home upbringing–both my father and grandfather had strong influential roles over my life and my understanding of the gospel, knowledge of Scripture, and life applications of it.

I married a godly man who had an incredibly similar upbringing to mine (including living with grandparents). He has been a huge influence for and partner with me in ministry support.

Being a mom to my two children who are now young adults and are not only decent, likable adults, but they love Jesus and serve Him.

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:

Two miscarriages

Woefully unprepared emotionally to navigate romantic relationships well
