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

I grew up in a strong Christian home, regularly participated in church activities all of my childhood and high school. I accepted Christ at a young age. My faith definitely began to become more of my own in middle and high school. From that point I have been continually growing in various areas spiritually and have really come to understand my own personal flaws and areas of growth in new ways.

West Shore Evangelical Free Church (Mechanicsburg, PA)
Served in Nursery and Preschool from middle school-high school and when home from college. Helped with 6th grade evening program in 9th-10th grade. Helped lead Jr. High youth during 11th-12th grade.

Currently serving in the nursery at Grace for the past year.

Cedarville University (Ohio)
Served as a captain on my track team for 2 years in college.
Also served as an RA for 1 year.

My youth leader from middle-high school and his wife were a big influence in my life, even when I went to college.

Being a part of the track team at Cedarville really shaped me and taught me humility in new ways.

My family has been a constant reminder of God’s goodness to me. Even when I take it for granted, each member of my family has made such an impact on me in different ways, showing me Christ’s love and challenging me to live out my faith in different situations.
Missions is something that I always loved hearing about as a young kid, both through my family and my church. It has always been a passion of mine and something that I love to be a part of.

My first year of teaching was QUITE the trial. Thankful to Christ for standing by my side through the fires, and for His forgiveness. Thankful for a personal desire to grow through those experiences and persevere, trying to return to work with a fresh mindset each day.

Senior year of high school I went through a rough patch when my older brother went through a divorce. It was the hardest thing I had ever gone through, but it definitely grew me as a person.

Confrontation is not something that I enjoy, but 2 specific experiences have given me a better understanding for others going through similar things and I am able to use that experience to share my wisdom and encouragement with others.
