Variety

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

Grew up in the church, strayed away, but returned after feeling like life beat me up. At my lowest point, I remember asking God to be a comfort and He was. For the first time, I ‘felt’ His presence and peace and my life; then vowed to never God back. My faith increase, trust enhanced and love for God and His people grew. I began serving Him in various capacities and even went to bible college to help grow myself more.

Teaching God’s Word to the Youth in the New members class, great reminder of the basics and simplicities of accepting Christ into you life and His everlasting love for us.

Getting married and being stretched beyond measure to be selfless according to God’s plan.

Moving to Maryland from New Jersey and leaving my foundation (family, friends, church). Having to rely solely on God to be everything to me, without the comforting distractions of the nucleus of people that have supported and loved me all my life.

My parents divorce made me questions God’s promises.

My parents getting remarried and God restoring the years we’ve lost as a family…. *praise hands

The harder moments in marriage, where I had to let go and trust God.
