I’m excited for my marriage to be ministered too and helped to grow stronger as a Christian couple. I’m excited for my husband to grow a stronger relationship with God and for me to grow a stronger relationship with Him as well.

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

We attended Eternity’s Crossing one year at Trindale and it affected me in such a way that I dedicated my life to the Lord.

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

Trindale Community Church- Teacher for the girls program on Wednesday nights for a couple of years. On youth staff for one year.

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

Marrying the man of my dreams and showing me what it means to be treated like a princess.

Having my daughter and the experience that was.

Moving from Philadelphia to North Carolina.

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 raped at the age of 14 which then caused me to fall into a a depression which then caused me to start cutting myself.

My parents separated when I was very young and that still has a negative affect on me some days.

The birth of my daughter could honestly be considered a negative too in my book. Her traumatic birth and stay in the NICU had such an impact on me that I feel into a deep depression that continued for a long time.
