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

As a young child, had a great Sunday school teacher who made the gospel so clear and I accepted Christ wholeheartedly. But until 10 or so years ago, I wasn’t serving Him. That all changed after a bible study at church, so I redecorated my life to Him and fully surrendered all of my life. It’s been glorious and fulfilling ever since. I seek Him daily, an available for service to whom ever, wherever He sends me.

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

Nursery worker Ft Christmas Baptist church, New Life Church, and Longwood Christian church. Serve in the coffee shop at Central Christian Church, 9 years.

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

Mission trip to Guatemala

Becoming a Billy Graham Evangelistic Association RRT Chaplain and serving as such

Ministering at our Dignity Center and Church in the Garden for our homeless in Ocala and growing the Urban Garden there

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:

Divorce

Death of my parents

Being in an abusive relationship
