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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Was raised in a Christian home always was aware of God and was different from other kids my age. Church I was raised in did not promote salvation for children, taught you were older before you could fully understand. I was an adult when I accepted Jesus in my own home.

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

Willow Road Christian Church Enid, Ok: Sunday School teacher-2 yrs

Christian Union Church Enid, OK: Sunday school teacher, youth leader-12-13 yrs

Cedar Ridge Wesleyan Church Enid, OK: Sunday School teacher, Awanas, Children Church, LBA Secretary-25-30 yrs

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

My Mother’s role model.

Christian friends who have supported me and counseled through my life.

Great, strong Christian ladies in the church that were so strong in their belief and dependence up God even when their lives were very difficult.

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:

Not being allowed to go to college.

Difficult marriage

Dealing with death
