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 a christian household, pastor’s kid, asking Jesus into my heart age 5. I was baptized in middle school and I would save I was a pretty serious christian. With that said, I didn’t really take ownership of my faith until I was about 18, when I moved to Austin. It was then that I really understood the weight of community, reading your bible and glorifying God.

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

Pre-k classroom, teacher assistant: The Meeting House (formerly Carlisle Brethren in Christ), Carlisle, PA. 8 years.

Kids classroom aid: The Austin Stone, Austin, TX. 1 year.

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

Being a big sister. I’ve been thankul for this role ever since I was 5.

Moving to Austin, Texas

My best friendships.

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:

Disappointments in my ballet career (body image, hard work being ignored, etc)

Failures or mistakes causing guilt

Anxiety over an unknown/uncontrollable future

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?
