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 was baptized at a young age because I felt convicted that this is what I should do.

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

Mid Cities Church, North Richland Hills, Tx . Kitchen, Youth, Childrens, anywhere there was a need.Very small church, involved for 5 years.

The Hills, NRH, TX. Youth ministries for 15 years. Lead small groups, lead large groups, lead mission trips, cooked on mission trips, etc.

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

Mission Trips – always a great experience
Went to Nigeria with a group for two summers and thoroughly enjoyed working with the people. We worked in an orphanage, a hospital, with AIDS victims and slept in the bush staying with Muslims and non believers.

Mid Cities Church – now closed- was a welcoming place to help those with broken hearts heal.

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:

A large church who turned their backs on us when we were at our lowest. The people we asked to pray for us didn’t want to be part of the negative and couldn’t help us.

Believers who change you with false accusations and then when the truth is revealed refuse to apologise (this includes leaders of the church).

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. Mission work in other countries and states.
