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 became a Christian when I was 13 years old. It just made sense to be a follower of Christ through the teachings I learned at that young age at Christian House of Prayer in Killeen Tx.

At our church ushering.

Attending Prairie View A&M University taught me how to problem solve and be resourceful.

Being an army brat taught me to embrace change and value everyone’s differences and that it is those differences that make us grow as a people.

Becoming a mother has taught me to be a little more patient and has really made me a lot more “soft” things that wouldn’t bother me before make me reflective and more empathetic.

my high school counselor telling me my grades were not good enough to go to college (not true) and that I should just do hair because i’m good at it. (true) but it was said out of apathy, ignorance and racist ideology. Her words moved me to prove her wrong by doing all the work myself to submit my application to college.

feeling like I married the wrong person is making me really look at myself and make decisions bout my future.

My mother not being in my life, which hurt at first, was a blessing in disguise because who knows how I would have turned out had I lived with her instead of my father raising me.

This would be done from elementary to high school to make our students educationally lifted, socially conscious, and emotionally supported.

5. helping people find a mate and keep their partner.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I have these gifts because I like to share information with others to keep them abreast on what is happening in the Body of Christ in an effort for them to make intelligent decisions.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love to serve others because it gives me the opportunity to make them smile as I serve a need that they are having at the time. In addition it blesses me to see the beauty in others as I take a break from my very own troubles.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
On a daily basis, I share words of inspiration and encouragement which are in the Word of God. Often time, Christians do not take time to share the Word of God with non-believers or the unsaved. That troubles me. How are we going to win souls for Christ if we do not speak HIS Word to HIS people. Also, there are those in the Body of Christ that is still dealing with their very own issues and they cannot seem to pray for a fellow Christian and let’s not mentioned a non-believers, however they are the very one who can point out what someone is failing in with their walk with Christ. We are all Disciples of Jesus Christ and it’s our duty and charge to win souls and to be consistent with our appointment to the Kingdom.

[H]eart

1. The three things that I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life are:
Collecting, Donating and Serving others (i.e. food, clothing, school supplies, hugs and words of encouragement);
Promoting a worthy cause to get those around energize to assist our community; and
Saying “Hello” is a simple way of showing love for someone.

2.

3.

I love to work with all age groups of people, however my favorite would be children under 10, empowered women who are hands on like me, elderly wise folks who I can learn from about life, people who have the same spirit as me and those who believe in the WORD – never wavering from its teaching.

What excites me the most is breaking out the four walls of the church, rolling up my sleeves and to get my hands dirty. The first time I ignored my circumstances and gave despite of what I did not have to give was when I pulled two names from the Angel tree. That effort proved to me my purpose in life. Then I rallied my family to donate food to the MD food bank one year to celebrate my Mom’s birthday after her death. The following year, I asked for book pack with supplies and I humbly donated the items to New Antioch Baptist Church of Randallstown where I was a member.

I am most concern about the ministry issues is when I am surrounded by fake fellowship and strife. This type of behavior is so disheartening and it makes me feel like shouting, “Are you kidding me?” I would prefer to return to the back pew, get the Word, implement it in my life, then go back home to the comfort and sanctity of my home which is filled with peace and trustworthy people. What’s funny is that I see the flaws and imperfections which makes me not to be so hung up on my flaws and imperfections. However when there are those around that will not acknowledge their short-coming and instead prefer to assassinate your character because although they proclaim to had been in the Word for years, they still lack the spiritual maturity expected of them. How can we bring non-believers to the house of God and be transparent when we haven’t mastered the simple things on this Christian Walk/Journey. We must do better. We must remember that there are three sides to the story, his, her and the truth. Manipulation runs rampant in the Body of Christ as well as those Christians that are too faced and are drama filled. It’s sad because I was naïve and did know that this type of non-Christian behavior existed. HE’s preparing me. So it’s my prayer – Psalm 121 that I put on blinders and that I keep my focus on HIM because HE is revealing and uncovering this things so they can make me better. I trust HIM over man.

My current vocation is analytical, organizer and problem solver.

I have experienced being a executive assistance, receptionist, a volunteer coordinator, advocate of the law in which I site the law then break it down in layman’s term in an effort to be understood.

The only special talent I have is the talent to see the best in everyone and to root for the underdog. That’s when I disburse love and acceptance wherever I go.

I have never taught a class or seminar however I do not know where the Lord is taking me with my new found diagnosis of being epileptic. I trust HIM.

I feel my most valuable personal asset is treating everyone with acceptance, love and care.

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

I became a Christian at the age of 10 yr olds when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I was baptized at the age of 10yr old then at 25yr when I had my handsome son. Before then I heard the Lord’s voice throughout my life and if those around me did not say I was special HE always reinsured me of just how special I was/am. When troubled, I was sit and read the family huge bible which my Mom kept on the living room’s coffee table. I found comfort and was told to just HOLD on.

I have never served in past ministries besides in the audience. Often times I want to return to the audience because then the attacks would be limited however I believe, declare and decree that my Lord is with me and HIS word says HE will never leave me nor forsake me. Through those daggers. Attempt to talk about me so those around me can dislike me. Stir up strife and church rumors because I know my Father will reveal and expose all in HIS time. I need not to worry about it.

The three positive experiences in my life that made a big impact on me today are as follows:
1. Watching my Mom take her last breath;
2. Overcoming isolation after going through separating and a divorce;
3. Delivering my son and daughter.

Negative experiences from my past which helped to shape me are as follows:
1. Going without food, clothes, utilities and encouragement;
2. Being the underdog; and
3. Turning an ear towards what others thought about me.
