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 had it in my mind as a child I wanted to get married before I got saved .At 28 years old I was married and had 3 girls. I went to a revival meeting at a Baptist Church and the minister that brought the message was Methodist. I was already under conviction so at the end of the sermon I ran to the alter. I knew I wanted to be saved but I didn’t know how. That Methodist minister met me at the alter and explained how simple it was to be saved and I gave my heart and life to the Lord.

First Pentecostal Holiness Church in High Point

Served as a Youth Director, Sunday School teacher, sang in the Choir, worked as a Missionette Leader with young girls, was in Church plays, Women Ministry worker, served on Deacon , lead ladies prayer band

My Father, Mother, Sister and Brother’s prayers and their examples in life

Having a good husband that was a good provider, father and loved his family.

Three elder ladies in the Church that taught me about the Lord when I was a young Christian

Had a church friend that wasn’t true in her marriage . The Lord gave me wisdom to help lead her out of that situation through love and prayer.

Unsaved youngest brother that needed to be shown love and acceptance of who he was. He moved in with my family and through love and my example of being a Christian he learned how much the Lord loved him no matter what he had done. He later in life gave his heart to the Lord and leaned on me for guidance.

Losing one of my children, the only boy we had at age 3. The Lord gave me strength like I could never imagine. My unsaved husband was going out of his mind. The Lord gave me strength to talk to him and also gave him the understanding of the love of God and how much his family needed him. He did a complete change which only God could do. He later in life gave his heart to the Lord.
