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 was 4 years old when I became a Christian, and I’ve been one ever since.

Children’s Church

A Greeter at church

Building sets for Christ Fellowship’s ” At The Movies”, and being in a costume and playing a character. Star Wars was the best one ever, and I was Palpatine.

Being at Christ Fellowship growing up has made me into a Young Man of God, a happier person and kinder. CF makes me feel good inside, and it makes me feel at home.

Sergio’s Wayfinders makes me feel special because the people at Palm Beach Sailing Club saw how a boy named Sergio could sail a boat for years, and they get to get other kids with autism sail on a boat on the intercoastal.

Being with my family who are Christians, and sharing stories of the Bible with me, and praying before meals has helped me as a Christian. It has helped me to remember God, to thank God, and to always be thanking Him.

I was apart of a homeschool group named C.H.E.C. for so long and I knew all my parents and the kids there. I knew the kids around my age there for a very long time, and then in the beginning of 2019, the parents started pulling the kids out without even talking to my family, and it made me feel so very sad and hurt.

I had a old neighbor named Joshua Belle. He’s 2 yrs younger than me, and I was neighbors with him in my old neighborhood. I was the one who knocked on their door, asking for Joshua. And then Joshua never knocked on my door, and he never asked me to hang out with him. I moved out of the neighborhood in 2017, and I never saw him since then.

In my old neighborhood when I was a kid, there was a big dog named Deacon. Deacon was a big, black beagle dog who was hyper and he chased me. he was mean when he saw me. One time, I went to the dumpster then I saw Deacon. I was scared and he started chasing me, then dad came and picked me up. He took me home. I was little and nonverbal, and lots and lots of sensory things going on. I couldn’t have Deacon jumping up on me because I was too sensory. It was very scary and traumatizing.
