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

My father was a minister, so I grew up in a Christ-loving home. I have always been drawn to the church and faith and always felt at home in the Church. I was baptized when I was 11, but was a Freshman in high school before I really let Christ direct my steps and actions.

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

Children’s ministry-all my life. VBS and daycare for teenage and college years. Couple of years after college.

Youth ministry-1 year right out of college.

Young adult ministry-2 years in my late 20s.

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

Mission trip in Mexico as a teenager

A youth minister’s wife who mentored me

Internship at a large church during college

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:

Having a fiancé cancel our wedding

Living with my boyfriend and then being married to a difficult, hard to please husband and feeling like I have no other options.

My husband leaving me with an infant and then getting a divorce
