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

Looking for someone to ‘tell’ me what the bible says, I came across a charismatic church where, once saved, the bible just became ‘alive’ to me!

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

St. Matthew United Methodist Church, Belleville, IL – 5 years – women’s ministry, Sunday School secretary/treasurer, table-cloth ministry, visitors ministry, choir.

Westport Community Church (Baptist), St. Louis, MO (one year) – taught pre-school children Sunday School class.

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

I loved teaching the pre-schoolers – they are such sponges for learning and they loved hearing bible stories and learning how God loved them.

I was blessed to lead women in ministry. We encouraged each other and prayed together while sharing devotions and a sense of fun during our time(s) together.

I had several responsibilities in church and I enjoyed them all – it gave me a sense of purpose and hopefully a sense of encouraging others to serve as well.

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:

I am a widow – I feel especially concerned for other widows

Before being saved and learning the scriptures, I felt so lost. I understand and sympathize with those who are also seeking and wanting to know the Lord – to feel loved.
