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

I wanted to change in 10 grade and after high school and I said enough is enough and I started serving and got baptized!

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

I have been to New Orleans I joined a church ministry called SUM. We walked the streets of Mardi Gras where we went up to random people and told them about the goodness of God.

I have been to New York and we feed the homeless along the streets and helped give our time in soup kitchens for the homeless.

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

Definitely, the mission trips I have been on have changed my spirit and my heart posture for God and throughout my life.

My church that was my home until I moved, there were worship nights on the 1st Wednesday of every month and the last worship night I was going to be leaving for school and I saw a vision of me preaching on stage and I got a word from the holy spirit and I went on the stage to speak for 2 min of what I shade with the church.

I was a camp competition leader and I got to learn with the kids what they are going through and what they thought about the messages being said and what God was speaking to them. This inspired me.

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 character didn’t match up with my calling because I fell into my flesh. It took my confidence away and I felt so lost and away no matter how close I was to the church.

A lot of temptation comes to me because the devil knows I will fall, but I’m coming back stronger at every moment.

I got mad at my sister and I used to have anger issues and I was hitting walls and kicking them. I got hurt and I immediately thought “Is this the man I want to be as I get older?” I changed for the better and got rid of my anger issues.
