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

The church I first started attending would release balloons every New Year’s with the church address. My mom found one and took us to church. I experienced God at the age of 15 and decided to give my heart and life to him. I understood that in the middle of all the chaos of my families life, he was with me and loved me. That was more than enough for me.

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

New Life Apostolic Tabernacle-Youth leader and young girls ministry organizer.

SCD Messengers of Peace-District secretary

Grace Tabernacle-Church secretary, youth coordinator, praise and worship leader, assistant treasurer, teacher, women’s ministry co-coordinator

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

Had great leaders invest time to teach me how to lead with passion and invest in others

Seeing people get closer to God and develop a relationship through something I helped with

Learning to work with my husband as one when in ministry

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:

People being so judgmental towards me based on man made rules

Being disconnected from the community you are supposed to be serving

Allowing my voice not to be heard
