#1 Gift, Serving (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

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 accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was a little girl. I didn’t really own my faith until I was a Senior in high school and realized that I needed Him to make my life complete.

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

Open Door Bible Church, Port Washington, WI, Sunday School Teacher for 3K.

TimberLee Camp Counselor, East Troy, WI, 1 Summer

Crosspoint Community Church, Oconomowoc, Nursery, 3K, 5K, VBS Craft Lead, 6-7 years.

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

Birth of Kids – Cole, Brooke, Bree

Marriage – ups and downs and all the learning that goes along with it.

Youth mission trips in high school – provided me with new life perspective, grew a passion to serve, taught me to be confident in my skills as a leader

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:

Kyle had a car accident in which the biker died right after Cole was born. It taught me to cling to God and God alone. It taught me to really see the other side of a situation.

Wrapping It Up

Everyone Else After those
