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 was saved by God’s grace when I was 6 years old at little church in Sissonville, WV where my parents still attend. I grew up in a Christian home and do not remember a time of not loving Jesus with my whole heart. Yet, I fell Him daily and so thankful for His Amazing Grace. My walk with Christ became real in my freshman year of college when I realized my parents were not making do anything and it was completely up to me. I got involved in Campus Crusade for Christ and was discipled by an awesome woman of God. She challenged me hard core, gave me tough love which led to so much intimacy with Christ and prevented so many bad decisions throughout college.

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

Sunday School Teacher, Allen’s Fork Community Church, Sissonville, WV, ~3 years
