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

I visited a church on Sanibel Island with a friend whose sister suggested we go there. When I sat in the pew, I heard God’s voice say to me “I’ve been waiting for you!” I began to cry. It changed my life, and I altered my life and my business in order to spend more time at the feet of our Lord in learning His word and serving Him.

I am a trained Stephen Minister, although not ordained. I have led a women’s Bible study for 7 years. I am a grateful member of ALANON and sponsored many women who are dealing with the affects of alcoholism in their lives.

Moving to different areas of the country and having to make new friends.

Being married.

Being a member of a God filled church that preaches the word of the Lord. Having the Holy Spirit lead me in a prayer ministry.

divorce.

Taking care of elderly parents and now an aging husband.

Brought up in a home where violence and abuse were an every day event.
