[P]ersonality

Peace Maker

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

Grew up catholic; baptized, first communion, confirmed. Then went to a non denominational church a few times. Have always believed god was by my side and then walked into Journey church after being away from church for 25 years and I felt at home as soon as I walked in the door

Taking care of my brothers and sisters growing up

Being a single parent and realizing that I can do it

Hanging out with and learning from my dad

Taking care of my parents after their accident and during hospice

Growing up in a dysfunctional family where there was alcoholism, sexual abuse with siblings, physical abuse and imprisonment of family members

Barely making it by through the years raising my kids
