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

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

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

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

[E]xperience

Delivered from a violent and drug addicted environment.

Praise team

Skit team

Administrator youth camp

Camp experiences / receiving the holy ghost

The loss of my brother compels the desire to love, also to study the word.

Seeing Godly young people grow up in church (so different from me) urges me to follow God and live a holy lifestyle.

The way I was raised before and after church.
Church:Strict parents, no proper teachings, no love, no social skills, no responsibility or good example of it, poverty
living without God: drug addiction, violence, poverty

My break up -heart ache/ bitterness and resentment

My effect of my brother’s death and my brother’s life issues-
open to behavioral issues, disabilities, bullying, loneliness, loss, ect…

[E]xperience

To be really honest, I always considered myself a Christian because my parents were, until I learned that I have to personally consider and have a relationship with God. I became a Christian through the influence of other people in my church. I got to know God through powerful testimonies and the word of God.

A year or two ago I went through a stage of depression because I felt like I wasn’t good enough for anyone or anything.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel as though I have the gift of serving because I like to show people that I am available. Although I may not be the richest person in the world, I like to show others that I can serve in different ways whether it may be emotionally, spiritually, physically or mentally.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel like I have the gift of pastoring/sheperding because I believe I am a good leader. I like to steer people into the right direction, especially when it comes to my peers. I NEVER want to see someone go down the wrong path in life because it literally breaks my heart, so if I can do anything to prevent that I will. Leading others to the kingdom of God is my ultimate goal & I strive to be better at it

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I AM HUGE ON ENCOURAGEMENT! because It is so easy to get caught up in our personal issues that we truly forget about the joy that God wants for us & promises us! One thing the enemy always tries to do is steal our joy and remind us of our issues BUT GOD SAYS OTHERWISE! I like to be that reminder for my family and friends that our issues are only temporary, they aren’t here to stay because Joy comes in the morning!

[H]eart

1. WORSHIPING all around my house!

2. spending time with loved ones

3. Having intimate one on one time with Christ

I love to work with children! starting at the age of 3

A church issue that concerns me the most is that the church is not in one accord when it comes to the goals and visions of the church

Homelessness
Poverty/hunger
At-risk children

[A]bilities

My current vocation is to care for those who aren’t cared for! I need to spread the love of God beyond the four walls of my church & show individuals that there is a greater love than mine.

2. My parents took me to church from the time I was a week old. My father was a strong example of one who practiced living what he understood of scripture. He had a servant’s heart and was gave liberally to his church, both physically and financially. He was a man of good reputation in the community and shared his faith freely.
3. Twenty five years as a Washington State Trooper. I learned how to listen and to talk with people one-on-one and how to handle crises. I also learned and experienced speaking to large groups of people during eleven years as a Safety Education Trooper.

1. Growing up in a legalistic church and with a father who wasn’t a good parent within the walls of his own home. God has used that experience to help me become more compassionate and considerate for my own wife and children, and to be more forgiving of others in my life as well. I have used my father as a positive role model for his public live, but have let God change my heart and attitude regarding the negative things about my father that I know weren’t right.
2. I had anger problems and control issues in my marriage as a young husband. God has helped me to change my heart and actions and to become a much better husband and father as I’ve studied and applied His Word to my life.
3. My heart attack in 2011 opened my eyes to the fact that life is short and uncertain, and that whatever I can do to help build the kingdom of God on this earth I need to do now.

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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
