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 was born into a Christian household. Both of my parents are Christians. going to church was not a choice in our home. My mother often used the scripture Joshua 24:15 ” But as for me and my house we will serve the Lord”. That stuck with me. Now that I’m an adult I’m always looking to be used by God both in the church, at work and in my everyday doings. Its a blessing to be willing vessel for the Lord. Its important for me being a woman of God and leading my son in the right direction. My prayer is for the Lord to choose him and use him as well.

Good Samaritan Missionary Baptist Church: St. Louis MO -20years -(family church)-choir, usher board, health unit, youth supervisor, kitchen committee

Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church-St. Louis MO- 8years-hospitalty committee, kitchen committee, Asst. youth supervisor, Praise and worship, Women’s Ministry.
