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

In my late 20’s, realizing that I was living a self centered and self serving life of sin, I needed better, wanted better. I wanted Christ to be in control.

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

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

My move back home after 7 years on my own to be back with my family and to get re grounded.

My marriage to Mike and the support and love of his family.

The support of Christian women after moving to Hilton Head. Through them I found strength for our journey

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:

My life in my 20’s when I stepped away from God believing I was doing well, but aware of my sinful ways. I would like to be instrumental in keeping other young women from going through times like those.

My parents were killed when I was ready to deliver our first child, in the early hours of January 1, 1982. There are no words to describe the depth of my pain of loss and the joy of the birth of our daughter…at the same time. Maybe I could comfort others because of this.. Life does continue and God’s mercies still abound for our family.

After moving south, financially things were bad for us. As they worsened I did construction cleaning at night to help bring in money. Because we knew that the Lord was leading us, we are still praising Him today!
