Variety

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

I went thru an abusive relationship and found myself reading the bible and learning and understanding God’s truths and promises. I found refuge and hope in the Lord and accepted Him as my lord and savior in a room by myself. Years and years later, I got married to a wonderful man. He had a massive stroke and was told not going to walk or speak again. But God gave him a second chance. Three years later (today), we are moved by God’s guidance and holy spirit. We strive to live by faith as God shows us the way as we live life daily. And i am also 3 months pregnant! I take every change I can get to share how God saved me, and how he saved my husband too.

I have been playing the drums for church for about 10 years. Leading creative team for 1 year. Served in the same church.

Marrying my husband who has a heart after God. He is the biggest positive influence in my life.

Letting go of a dark path growing up, and all the past mistakes and troubles I’ve been through and accepting that Jesus died on the cross for all my sins.

Deciding to serve the Lord 10 years ago when i started in ministry.

Broken childhood and coming from a broken family

An abusive relationship that made me vulnerable and deperately run to God for help

Going through drugs, partying and not having a direction in my life but now learning from it
