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 believe I was born that way so it was an easy choice for me when I fully understood. I have loved and the church since I was a child. One night I heard it is time (spoken in my spirit) I went on a 10 day fast as directed by the Holy spirit Daniel fast) and on my day of baptism 3 children was baptised, (Not planned) and I spoke a word from the Lord about His love for the children and his protection over them.

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

Lay Preacher in two Toronto Churches

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

Growing up my mother had church every night, where we prayed and sang before bed.

Being taken up in the 3rd heaven and watching the event at the women’s conference I was at , happened during praise and worship , and after the power that moved through me when I tried to touch others when telling of my experience.

Seeing into the spirit at events or at church. This I am careful with.

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:

The loss of my mother and having to care for my younger siblings. not a negative really. But an event that causes me to have compassion for others in the same position.

Church people, and their behaviour which drives others from churches.

Being abused by my step mother and me promising that I would never do the same to any child.
