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 always grew up in and around church. I was baptized when I was about 10 years old. When I went to college, I strayed from my faith. I felt as though I was a hypocrite, because I knew the right thing to do, but I was still deliberately disobeying God and my calling. Since then, I have rededicated my life to Jesus. I am getting baptized this Sunday to go public with my faith to show myself and everyone that I’m no longer choosing to put my faith into myself, but into Jesus.

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

North Point, Springfield, MO. Service Coordinator intern. Infants-6th grade.

Volunteer–infants-Preschool.

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

Seeing the grace with which my dad handles his health situation.

Becoming an aunt.

My family–especially my three sisters.

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:

Seeing my dad struggle with health issues his entire life.

Seeing family members go through financial struggles.

Having family members close to me pass away.
