Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a Christian home and accepted Christ as my Savior at age 5 and was baptized at age 8. During college I left the church and came back into relationship with Christ at age 23.

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

I have worked in Kids Ministry since I was in 6th grade. Even when I left the church in college – I found a church to serve in Kids Ministry (even though I did not attend service). I became a teacher and taught Elementary for 21 years. Last year I resigned from teaching to go into full time Ministry. I have been the Kids Ministry Associate Director at All Shores Wesleyan Church for 1 year.

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

Mission Trip to Indian Reservation

Teaching in Detroit

Mission Trip to Africa

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:

Surrendering my teaching career to God, painful, but beautiful.

Searching for love and God during college, poor choices – builds compassion for those trying to find their way

The loss of my grandma – love to visit nursing homes and deep love for the elderly
