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

I grew up in a baptist church in Detroit, MI, I had no choice but to attend service and be involved in ministry. However, I gained my one on one relationship with God when I went off to college in New Orleans. I had no family or friends in the entire state. I was forced to lean and depend on him more and more and I began to grow spiritually because of the lack of family to rely on. Fortunately, my roommate at the time was also a believer and we would stay up late reading His word and praying and talking about God. It was in those moments that I experienced His love, peace, joy, protection and friendship. I would tell him that I needed certain things and the very next minute I’d have what I had asked for. It was in that time period that my heart desires began to line up with His desires for me… He would show me things about people I was surrounding myself around in dreams and I can say that’s when I formed my own relationship with God.

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

Spirit & Truth Family Worship Ctr. New Orleans, LA 5 Yrs involved in the College Ministry (Truth Seekers) and Mime Ministry.

East Lake Missionary Baptist Church. Detroit, MI. 12 years in the Puppet Ministry, Mime Ministry and Choir

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