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

Overcoming my youth experiences of thought and destructive ways

My decisions as a young woman to change my life direction.

Acknowledging my weaknesses, addressing them and stepping out of them to enter into a strong growth leading to a great adult direction from learning from my past , embracing this new woman that can help others overcome their past.

My young womanhood experiences has helped me in all areas of my life. I made a lot of mistakes when I stepped out of Christ path as a young adult with my first marriage, kids and just acceptance that I really didn’t feel safe with but chose to except out of defiance of my teaching through my devote Christian Grandparents and my will to be accepted by others in relationships which weren’t healthy and I proceeded in them knowing it was against my up bringing.
