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 thought I was a believer for the biggest part of my life because of my upbringing. When I failed miserably in life, I realized my true need for Christ and started following Him much more closely. Totally gave my life to Him . It has not been easy for me. I have backslidden many times. I often now even don’t give Him first place in my life because of Civilian concerns that Paul speaks of. However, I know that He has forgiven me for my horrific sins and He loves me with a love like I have NEVER sinned.

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

First Baptist Church, Ellinwood, Kansas.
I taught Children’ s Church for awhile when my children were small.

Grace Community Church
Children’s Ministry. Taught musicals to kids. I loved that. Also taught Sunday School classes and VBS’s

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

Women of Faith conferences. Listening to women that have had wonderful Christian lives and learning from them.

Good Pastoral teaching from several ministers.

Small Group Experiences and getting to really know some wonderful people that follow Christ.

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:

I had a dad that ruled with an iron fist. He loved me, but I always felt like I had to earn his love. It never seemed freely given to me. I was very afraid of him. My mother seemed to love my brothers more than she did me. She always showed the men in the family her favor . It was hurtful.

Being involved romantically with the wrong person/persons. I was married to a man iI was unequally yoked with. I had a daughter with him (whom I love deeply) and he ran around on me. Divorce caused me to shape up.

I had an abortion when I was 20 years old. I thought I would never do that and then I was faced with having to make that decision. I was scared to death to tell my parents and that was what led to me making a poor decision .
