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 was abused child and attended Mormon church & knew there was something about Jesus & went to revival & received Jesus as my Savior. Didn’t have discipling so went through many seasons of backsliding and sanctification.

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

Since 2015 I have served at Bethany Baptist Church in Puyallup, WA in the children’s ministry childcare dept, AWANA’s, VBS, MOPPET’s, children’s church and the coffee shop.

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

Small Community group from Bethany where we shared meals, Gods word, prayers for each other and they supported me in many ways while I took on parenting three of my grandchildren for two years.

Working in children’s ministries and being trained by various women how to parent and love children to Jesus.

Being a part of Bible Study Fellowship last year and doing the Anne Lozt Daniel Prayer bib look e study this summer which enhanced my BSF study of Romans.

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:

Child abuse for years

Failed marriages

Addiction and terrible abuse of every kind from husband and his friends for years
