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

I was born a Christian. But over time I have desired to live Gods will, and I continue to pray for that stronger and stronger desire.

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

Involved with children and youth sports, coaching, vbs, and programs when I was in high school and college

Served at St. Marcus Lutheran and Atonement Lutheran as a teacher and administrator for 9 years

Served with the LUMIN Schools as a principal and at Mt. Lebanon Lutheran in a variety of volunteer roles for 4 years

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

Being forgiven. I have been forgiven much. I have experienced grace and mercy.

Friendships that have pushed me closer to God. God has put people in my life to keep me safe and to draw me closer to Him.

Working with kids throughout my life. Their stories and experiences has taught me hiw God loves and how he has compassion for the fatherless.

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:

Depression

Isolation

Being challenged to own up and confess my sins and be healed.
