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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

For most of my youth (teen years) I was required by my parents to attend eather a Christian service or Jewish service. I wanted to become a minister when I received my Hight School Degree, but I could not pay for it myself nor would my parents help me. I remember to this day a voice telling me that now was not the time I will tell you when. I got Married at the age of 21 and for about the next 35 years did not attend Church on a regular bases. With the exception of taking the clients in my charge to the services. About 20 years ago I was walking in the woods near my home when a man approached me and asked me what I was doing I said I was talking to God. This man was Pastor Mace who showed me once again the Proper way to Worship. Since this time I have received both an Associate and Bachelor Degree in Theology

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

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

Meeting and Marrying the women whom I have been married to for the last 57 years. Who has put up with my faults and thru the years has lead me to many changes. I am not ashamed to admit that I love her now just as much if not more then when we first got married

Meeting many men and women church leaders who have taken the time to teach me about Christ and what He has done for me

Having to take care of people who were not able to take care of themselves, it showed me that there are always people in the world who are worst off them I could or would ever be

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:

Being a drinker and seeing that it could destroy ones life. I have not touched a bottle in the last 47 years

having a nervous breakdown and not be able to control what I was able to do for about 2 months

almost ending up in jail because I thought I was better then those who were over me in authority. It taught me that I am not perfect like I thought I was that there is only one man who walked this Earth that was and he give his life on a tree. CHRIST!
