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

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

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

I accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of 13 when I first began attending church regularly. I was involved with my youth and loved Christ, but never really let him become Lord of my life. All through my life I would draw close then pull away. My Christian walk was fickle. At the age of 38, I was experiencing so much heartache all at once. When my older brother died, I heard Christ asking me, how much longer was I going to go through this life on my own, without him? I knew I needed Christ and I had never wanted anything more in my life. I started reading God’s word and praying. I rededicated my life to Christ, finally making Him Lord. He has completely transformed my life, my husband’s life, and 2 of my children. I never want to go back to my life without Him.
