Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I became a Christian at age 10 after 2 years of being under conviction as a child.

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

Served on Staff here at FBC for almost 12 years – FBC Fayetteville, TN

Worked in Ministry of various sorts for 13 years prior at FBC TAFT TN

Involved with various campus ministries at MTSU

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

Marrying a Godly man

Becoming a mother

Going on my first mission trip which then began my heart for more

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:

The death of my grandfather

Walking two families here at church through the sickness and deaths of their children

The two years of being under conviction as a children, knowing what I needed to do and being scared to do it – made me have a heart for that in other children. I can see similar characteristics in children who are going through the same battle and know how to address them as well as direct their parents
