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 grew up in church, but biblical truth never translated in my family into something real and I was confused about God. I grew up feeling like I needed to work for God’s love and approval. In my teens and early 20s, I struggled with over- the- counter opiate addiction, substance abuse, anxiety, depression and anorexia. My thought was that if I just worked hard enough I would get everything I wanted in life and everything would be ok. At 25 after a neighbor showed me unconditional love and support and invited me to church, I met Jesus and the Holy Spirit and for the first-time life made sense and I had peace. After that I spent as much time as I could volunteer in ministry. I volunteered in church every Sunday in the children’s service, worked overseas mission Haiti, homeless outreaches in DC. I saw so many prayers answered for so many people during this ministry time, including my own.
