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

God has brought me through so many hard times and never gave up on me even when I gave up on him. I was raised in the church so I was taught about God at a young age. I knew he sent his son to die for me but in order for me to receive that freedom from sin I had to be baptized and surrender my life to his will. I was baptized July 13, 2014 as an adult.

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

Ark of Safety Baptist church 2000-2014– took the minutes, sang in the choir, outreach ministry, youth ministry
Different churches in West VA from 2014-2018 — outreach ministries
Church of the highlands Alabama 2018-March 2019 outreach

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

Educational achievements-Bachelors and Masters degree

Mentoring and serving in homeless shelters

Moving to Houston

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:

Divorce process

Losing loved ones to cancer or other illnesses

Abusive relationship and singleness
