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

When I was five, at bed time, I asked my mom if everyone in our family was going to heaven. She said, “Everyone but you.” Shocking. I’d been to church since the Sunday after they brought me home from the hospital and here’s my mother saying that I wasn’t going to heaven—I was really surprised. I asked her why. She said, “Annette, you know all those times you fight with your brother?” I nodded. “What about when you disobey your father and I?” I nodded again. “And when you throw sticks at the cat?” I grinned. “Those things mean that you are a sinner. They mean you’re not like God. He is holy and would never do something mean just because He felt like it. Do you understand?” I nodded. Then she talked about the Gospel, about how Jesus came to save people who didn’t know they needed saving, how He died on the cross and rose from the dead. She asked me if I believed that. And I did, like a rock-solid fact. Of course He did. We prayed together that and I fell asleep. It was the beginning of my Christian life. 🙂

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

Getting accepted to DTS

Marrying Jonathan

Writing the Bible Study, “The Gospel and Womanhood”

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:

Working at OurCalling and being exposed to poverty and suffering like never before. Also, very difficult coworkers!

Being very sick at 20 years old and almost dying from uncontrolled thyroid disease–God gave me every day since June 17, 2010, and I want to use it with purpose.

Experiencing a church split at 13 years old. It taught me how incredibly important it is to know the Word of God for yourself.
