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

I was dreaming when suddenly I saw someone who was after me to hurt me. However, when I was close of being cut, I called on Jesus to save me. Then I was lifted up and a brother of mine who was not even a Christian and is still not told me to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. then I had the same dream another day with the same outcome. I then was led to an evangelist to pray for me. When I went to his house, I told him about the two dreams. To my surprise, he said that he had a dream where a young man would come to him for prayer.

When I came to Miami, I had the privilege to serve as a youth leader for seven years and a half at Bethany Baptist Church in Miami, Florida. After I left Bethany, I was led to begin a ministry with two young preachers named Hosanna Worship Center in Miami, Florida, where I had served as a youth leader. Then, I was picked by the pastors and committee to be the Chairman of the committee. While I was in Panama, Central America, I served as Sunday School teacher for one year.

I have been an HP leader at the Tabernacle of Glory in Miami for the past four years. I also get the privilege to serve as an outbound coordinator with the Evangelism Department at the Tabernacle of Glory.

I will never forget about the day I became a Christian

Baptism was also big on the list

I have had several powerful dreams that were so real that I am still amazed at God’s revelation

How a friend betrayed me, after I had sacrificed everything for her to start a Christian School in Panama. However, I was able to move on through forgiving her.

How I left Hosanna Worship Center and the confrontational experience I had with the pastor, which I had to apologized for.

I have trusted many people that ended up hurting me, because I used to be naive. However, once I have surrendered this weakness to the Holy Spirit, I have been able to stop any future pain.
