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

I became a Christain at 18 after I met my husband. I grew up in a Catholic home we never went to church that I can remember but I always knew i believed in God. I did attend youth with a friend through high school but it was not transformative in my spiritual growth. My conversion was sudden and powerful. I told “Christian” friends about the transformation and they recommitted their lives to Jesus. I have never looked back from that moment.

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

Kids ministry – teaching Sunday school ages primary to highschool.

Leading children’s ministry, Sunday school superintendent

Worship team, Bible studies, Christmas program- wrote, directed, and produced.

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

I don’t know what these are I would need more time to think about this question.

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:

I prefer not to disclose in this format but would be willing to one to one.
