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

Christmas brought an emptiness. I felt like their had to be more. I began a quest to find faith.

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

I have been part of Connections since 2010.

I have been helping and teaching in children’s ministry since 2014

I’ve led or participated in the short term mission to ODM 5 summers.

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

The way God parted the seas when my family moved to Colorado from Arizona. He paved our transition.

Getting hired in Cherry Creek School district as a 4th grade teacher on a three day weekend from Arizona.

Working in CAST with women rescued from human trafficking.

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:

When my ex husband blindsided me with an extramarital affair.

The use of alcohol caused some pretty poor choices.

Losing a pastor that I loved and respected.
