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 grew up Lutheran. When my pastor retired I went to Christian youth groups with my friends. I learned about the Trinity, started reading the Bible regularly, and started praying openly and honestly in 8th grade. In high school I formally gave my life to Christ at Harvest and got baptized. I fell away in college by going to parties and getting caught up in the business of school and work. I was half in the world and half in my faith. It took my years to move on from a non Christian man I dated. I have been recommitting my life to Christ and am continually trying to improve in my walk with God.

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

Harvest Christian in Riverside—helped elementary children’s ministry on about 5-10 times.

Singles at Saddleback Lake Forest-1 year

Homeless- about 3 times in Santa Ana with Saddleback

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

Academic awards

Personal trainer

Spending time with kids

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:

Dating a non-Christian man/ breakups

Feeling like a failure in a career

Being close to someone struggling with drug addiction
