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

I had long been a seeker after Truth, longed to know how I could know for sure. After I became sure that I believed in God,, I was honest with Him … that I had a mustard seed-sized faith and asked Him to show me more. He did, through a public tongues-speaker – God’s message to me: “Do not let your fear of looking foolish or being embarrassed keep you from me. Come to me.”

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

Prayer teams

Ministry outreach, street ministry

Cafe ministry

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

Blessed with my daughter, being her mom. She is now 31 years old.

Connecting with Kevin Riordan Set Free Ministries. He teaches about Holy Spirit, and the power we have as believers because the Spirit is in us.

Opening my heart to deeper love and selflessness during the last years of my parent’s lives.

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:

All of my broken relationships: 4 divorces, 4 broken engagements.

Daughter’s 10 year drug addiction.

Being told , when I was 3 years old, that i was adopted. From that point, I became fearful, not able to trust or connect deeply with others, angry, disconnected, perfectionist and driven to prove myself.
