[H]eart

1. Connect deeply with people (good conversations, true relationships). To truly understand others and be understood.

2. Art and Nature (one thing for me, I feel like they can’t really be seperated).

3. Learning. Learning about the world, about Psychology, Science, Faith, God, all of it.

Generally, people with positive attitudes who are generally around the same age and authority level as me. However, I also love working with people from radically different cultures, and working with people a decent amount older than me is enjoyable too (35 to 45 years old, I’m 20).

Missions Workers. Community Outreach. Young Adults and Kid’s Ministry!!

Marriage/family issues
Abuse/violence
Other – Education/development

Variety

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

I was raised in a Christian household, but never really sustained a relationship with God until after drifting away from Christianity in high school, fighting a porn addiction, and fighting feelings of depression and hopelessness. After feeling like I had nowhere to turn, I turned to God and asked him for help. After that, I really started to dive into what has become a strong personal relationship with God. My brokenness has been redeemed by Him, and I know now that I have a hope.
