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

Born again in the summer of 1981 between high school and college graduation while attending a midnight musical at Greater Friendly Temple Church of God in Christ in Anchorage, Alaska. I was invited there by a friend from high school. We were both singers in a band, and she knew how much I admired great singers.

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

First church home was Greater Friendly Temple Church of God in Christ. Lots of fire, no root–went to college in Des Moines, Iowa and floundered for four years spiritually with no biblical training, but I read my Bible and participated in the gospel choir for four years

Prevailing Word Outreach Church in Anchorage, Alaska for 18 years under the leadership of Bernard and Karen Smalls; Associate Minister, Worship Leader, Praise Team, Small Group Leader, Communications Director

Church homeless for 12 years – joined (but not very active) Changepoint in Anchorage, Alaska, Champions Centre in Tacoma, Washington, and Chapel Hill Atlanta Campus in Douglasville, Georgia

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

Working at an advertising agency for 5 years in the front office, account services, and creative

Becoming a poet and founding a crochet organization in 2004

Becoming a jewelry designer in 2015

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:

Being a single parent

Abusive first marriage

Lifetime of being insecure about my gifts and talents (over that)
