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 saved at a young age, but did not realize being a Christian was more than just getting out of Hell. It wasn’t until I went to college that I learned about having a relationship with God and was challenged to have a daily quiet time and to actually grow in my faith

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

Vienna Baptist Church – local missions; self-established leader in youth group 🙂
(growing up)

Merriwood Christian Camp – counselor, health assistant, program director, volunteer coordinator (6 years)

RA @ Liberty – oversaw spiritual well-being of hall, led prayer groups and devotions, built up leaders on the hall, etc

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

Working at Merriwood

Going to college and making my faith my own

Specific friendships I’ve established from the previous 2

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:

being horribly hurt by fellow believers on more than one occasion

seeing how those who struggle with specific sins are treated by believers

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)?

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
