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

When I was 8 years old I had a physical handicap that required me to wear bi-lateral leg braces. I was ridiculed by other children and developed a sensitivity toward those that were hurting spiritually and emotionally. My parents and pastor helped guide me to understand my salvation and love of God.

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

Usher at First Baptist Church of Clear Lake, TX 2-3 years

Sunday School Teacher at First Baptist Church Alta Loma, Santa Fe TX 2 years

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

Was healed from a crippling childhood handicap and am able to walk today as a result.

Was healed of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma of the Central Nervous System (Brain Cancer).

Have a wonderful wife, family and extended family that love God and inspire me daily.

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:

Lost my Dad to a rare cancer in 2006.

Went through a divorce from my first wife.

Lost some of my physical abilities due to permanent side affects from the brain cancer.
