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 raised in a Christian home in the catholic faith and attended both primary and secondary schools that were catholic as well. So religion has always been a part of my upbringing. As an adult, there was a time that i stopped attending church and started back when my mother encouraged me to start attending another church. Since then i have always tried to maintain my faith in God and attend church. I have always believed in God and see myself as a Christian but one that can and needs to get closer to the lord and learn the Bible which is one of the main reasons why i am attending the life groups.

Sunday school – i taught for a couple years at Stella Maris.

Outreach programs to Golden Age Home, Childrens homes- via Kiwanis New Kingston group

My experience living overseas has provided a lot of experiences that have been beneficial both personally and professionally.

Supporting a friend who was abused by her boyfriend.
