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

Well I grew up in a Catholic Church and my mother has always been a devoted Christian woman. So that was my introduction. I sooner then later grew my own curiosity with my faith and by the time I was 17 I was in search for my own church. After being discouraged from failing to find that church, I decided to take a step back. During the first half of my 20’s I stepped so far away from my faith that I stopped claiming myself as a Christian. Stopped praying, didn’t even have interesting continuing to build relationship with God. Then God blessed me with some God fearing friends who welcomed me with no judgment.Through them, I found my way back into church. And that’s really all it took for the light to be ignited again, I recognized what I was missing. God practically yelled at me, I heard him so well. And he’s had my heart since.

Joining New Bethel Church. Honestly changed my life. Even people around me have recognized the growth God has brought into my life through just being a part of that Church.

Becoming a Doula was my first time really knowing what it felt like to be a servant of God. Giving so much of
Myself for something far greater.

Starting my business. Taught me a lot of skill sets that I’m able to apply on a daily.

My Father passed away when I was 5 years old. Leaving my mother to raise me & my brother in a country she knew nothing of. Seeing her grace, perseverance, and worry-free faith in God helped shaped the idea of the kind of woman I would strive to be.

During my teens, my mother and I lived in someone’s basement for 7 years. With no kitchen,barely any furniture. That taught gratefulness.

I’ve been homeless. It taught me about forgiveness, making peace with your past.
