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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

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

started attending church on my own with a family down the street from me at the age of 7. this family feel in love wit me and they actually introduced me to Christ and his concept for righteousness.

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

My recent ministry experience was with Apostolic Restoration Ministries International (ARMI) in Detroit, Michigan, I was a praise and worship leader and when asked I prayed for individuals that requested public prayer, I did this for approx. eight years.

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

People actually accepting me for who I am and loving me

The compassion that others have shown me I my lifetime

The love and care for me by others

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 the not so popular person

Not having as my friends have had in the past

Being and only child has allowed me to have compassion on those that are different as I am different in many ways.
