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

When I was a young lady I witness different varies of hurt, pain and confusion without understanding. I prayed for peace and understanding. I then accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior…

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

Several churches…. All in Maryland…. I have attended church since I was about 7 years old

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

Learning to be humble.

Accepting one for whom they are without trying to change another.

Knowing that if all else fails, I learnt the ability to always “Love Self”

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 pain of dishonesty within people and forgiving them and moving on and past it. Dishonest individuals encourage me to always be forth coming no matter what the situation is….

Trust…. To know that although you are trustworthy, everyone isn’t…

In order to change the people around you… Change the people around you…
