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 grew up in a Christian home and enjoyed every minute of being in a Christian space. I then found out that I had to accept Christ in order to not go to hell. So I got baptized not fully understanding what the faith meant. I got to High school and started questioning what should be the difference with being a Christian versus a non-Christian. One day in my questioning, in my room alone, the Lord spoke to me and made the answer clear. From then on I have been a follower of Christ wholeheartedly.

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

Served in ISCF in High school as praise and worship leader and then Vice President. St. Andrew High School for Girls

Youth ministry Junior creative director- Miracle Open Bible Church. St. Catherine

SCFSU- volunteer in the area of camps planning

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

My high school Christian community- ISCF, SCFSU

Every camp I have ever been to

working in Montego Bay in the area of violence prevention

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:

When I engaged in sex outside of marriage

When I lost faith in God at some point in college

A car accident
