Routine

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

I have always believed but was not always a follower of Christ. Where i was saved was back in Ohio about 12 yrs ago at my former home church. After a bad marriage and divorce I was depressed and having difficulties and my brother was speaking with me trying to guide me and he took me to church and I accepted Christ.

Believers Church Warren, Ohio

Usher and Greeter for 5 years and was a small group coordinator for a cycling group

I am currently on the board of Gods Refuge house Warren Ohio it is a Christian based home/ministry for women who have addiction/alcohol issues

seeing God work through others

Went on a mission trip to Nicaragua

meeting and marrying my wife and we know it was God

my own sins of self inflicted wounds

past marriage and divorce that taught me that if God is not involved then dont do it

although my children are very good young men and good citizens and we went to a Catholic church, I did not bring them up in a christian home and I regret that enormously. I think that the best thing parents can do to help their children is to have God involved in everything and have a christian home environment and be good examples of Godly parents
