Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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 grew up in church from the time I was a baby. When I was 9, I realized even though I was a church goer, that I needed Jesus to save me from my sins. I then continued to grow in my faith, especially through my youth group and since, in adulthood through many challenges in life.

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

Bannockburn-Young Adult Life Group, Youth Ministry, Children’s Choir

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

Barton/Nixon class welcoming us when we first came to BBC

BBC staff coming to see our daughter in the hospital when we weren’t even members yet

Close friends who gathered to pray for our daughter and plead with God for a miracle

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:

Being told by a Sunday School teacher (not at BBC) that our daughter has a fatal disease because of something we did in our past.

Dealing with our daughter having a fatal disease including multiple hospitalizations & surgeries but it has made me very compassionate for others dealing with their own physical issues.
