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

Saved at a young age and then older I attempted to show how much I earned salvation by my pride. God humbled me and touched my heart and by His Grace and changed my life forever.

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

The Church of the Nazarene , Owego NY. Sunday School teacher. Board member. taught 20 years and was a Board member .

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

Answered prayers. My wife, children.

Having been raised by a Godly mother.

Seeing God use my Grounds job as a ministry and seeing lives changed.

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:

Growing up poor in a rural farming community.

Having a alcoholic father gave me compassion for those who struggle with addiction.

Being divorced, learning that God hates divorce because of the destruction and sadness it causes but Loves divorced people.
