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 was saved when I was 11. I was raised going to church.

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

I served on committees at Ferriday 1st Baptist in Ferriday in Louisiana in the last 4 years.

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

My daughter got saved last August at church camp. It is so amazing to see your child to get saved.

I love praying for people and situations and seeing prayers answered and the Holy Spirit work.

I was having a very difficult time with my feelings toward church and people in church. I moved from Kentucky to Louisiana. I joined to church there and my walk with God and my attitude toward people changed. I renewed my faith in God and people. I went for going to church at to duty to bring excited to go praise God and fellowship.

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 had a miscarriage. I was on anti-depressents before that. After the miscarriage I never touched another pill or drink for anxiety. I turned to prayer. Then I had 3 kids in 5 years!

My family had to claim bankruptcy. We went from having it all to having nothing. It was just things. We still had our health and people that loved us.

I have had several friends struggle with addiction and some die from addiction. When this happens it is hard to know if you could have said something else to help. Maybe if I had prayed more not set strong boundaries in my life. I do know when it comes to addiction there is nothing I can do but God can.
