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

My grandmother took me to church as a young girl. I spent my whole youth attending church 4-5 days a week. As an adult, I drifted away. There wasn’t young adults group. After several years and abusive relationships, I felt as if I couldn’t do any more without God’s help and I needed Him desperately. I then began seeking Him.

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

I have served in VIP first time guests and greeting. I also volunteer my administrative talents to the staff.

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

Missions trip to Mexico

Joining my Journey Church group

Actively serving in my church.

Abusive childhood

Abusive Marriage that left me with no place to go.

Failed friendships… with non Christians.
