Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

I grew up in the church I was a believer it was very vanilla and easy for me

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

Youth Granbury First united Methodist 3 years about 10 years ago

Teach at the church every Tuesday night Growing Kids Gods Way 6 years
at Stonewater Group Leader

Man Camp Took men fly fishing let them open up tell me there story listen to them and encourage them. I really enjoy this. there is something about getting a man out of his day to day. get him in a situation maybe a little uncomfortable. He will open up and tell you things that he has kept bottled up for years.
I have done this at Man camp and also just on my own.

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

My Wife

Mountain top experience

The Community Group I am in today

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:

Bad experience with a group of friends

Fighting with a Fiend loosing that friendship and working to get it back

Loosing a job and having wise council to help me though that
