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.

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 Church. I fell that I did not get anything out of it; not even knowing the meaning of Christmas and Easter. However, I feel that my upbringing provided a foundation; because of that foundation, I gave my life to the Lord as an adult at an Amway business function. I gained the most biblical understanding by attending bible studies in small groups.

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

Trinity Baptist Church, Bronx, New York
Sign language ministry, Young women’s ministry

Brooklyn Tabernacle, Brooklyn, New York
Video ministry

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

Marriage to Walter Love and raising our two sons together

Attending weekly bible study at the home of Pastor and Mrs. Dan Bowman

Attaining my Bachelors Degree

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:

Low self esteem

Drug use

Lack of compassion and judging others
