[P]ersonality

Leader

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

I was born into the faith and from a young age was taught the word. That said it wasn’t until I was about 27 that I truly understood what Jesus did for us on the cross and that I could have a personal relationship with God.

Involved as a child but nothing in my adult life

Watching my Grandfather serve his church, his God and his fellow church family

Seeing how God has moved in my personal life and placed people and situations in my life to bring me closer to him

Seeing how God has built StoryHill in his perfect timing

Losing my Dad at 8 years old drove me away from God but also shaped my into who I am today. Also my brother bring born with numerous medical problems allowed me to understand how precious life is and that every moment is a gift from God

Prior work circumstances has shown me how I can balance work and life

Growing up poor has shown me that not everyone is fortunate to have finances but that God loves us all the same
