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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My children getting involved in church guided me to church. I feel I had always believed in God but had not surrendered to him.

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

Iowa Park First Baptist-deacon and worked with the youth for many years. Worked with building and grounds team. Worked in Great Days of Service for people of Iowa Park.

Oak Grove- have worked with committee to remodel Beckwith Hall and with Repurposing committee to remodel and improve all buildings on campus.

Have worked on offsite projects for needy widows and others that needed construction type help.

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

Having my Father in law, Preston Leath as a good Christian example for me.

I have always been blessed with great friends.

All the mentors that I have in my life, men of integrity.

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:

Church politics.

Looking at all the time I wasted before I surrendered to the Lord.

Being currently unemployed.
