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

I accepted Christ as my Savior in June 1969 at the age of 13 at Billy Graham’s New York crusade. I experienced God’s presence and comfort powerfully at the age of 15 when my mother died suddenly and could never doubt His reality from that time on. It was not until many years later that I was taught that and understood that salvation came from Christ alone and not Christ plus good works.

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

2015-Present Community Bible Study Core leader, North Myrtle Beach
Teaching Director: Elaine Noonan

1994?-2012 Leader of the Ladies Bible study group at: Calvary Bible Church Yorktown Heights NY(Also helped with VBS, children/teen ministries that my sons were involved with over the years)

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

Putting myself through college and becoming an RN.

Becoming a mother of two sons.

Recognizing Gods hand in leading me to move to Myrtle Beach in miraculous ways.

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:

My mothers death at the age of 15, and having take on much responsibility.

Remaining in an unhealthy marriage for 40 years.

Suffering through life threatening and life altering illnesses that my sons experienced.
