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 was 4 years old. I was playing with a crucifix cube and mom explained it to me. Then I told her I wanted to accept Jesus in to my heart. But my relationship with God really took off when I was about 11.

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

City Church International – Worship Team, Kids program

Champions Special Ministries- coach for a child with special needs

Compassion International – Compassion Sunday, The Compassion Experience

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

Going to a girls conference and hearing about how important it is to spend time with Jesus each day.

Joining the NCFCA speech and debate organization and being able to use my love for public speaking to impact people

Serving with Champions, and learning to love all people, and also learning patience when things don’t go my way.

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 struggle with anxiety and fear of the future.

Feear of man and worrying about what others think of me.

My Uncle dying suddenly and having to deal with my grief when I didn’t want to show it.
