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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I gave my life to jesus on a bus on the way to a women’s retreat. The bus was playing the movie “Passion of the Christ”. During one scene, I felt as if my eyes met the eyes of my Savior and they pierced straight to my heart. I knew in an instant that I was His. I’ve wrestled out my salvation since then and feel solid in my belief that I am truly His.

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. I would write and teach bible studies. More speaking than writing

4. I would be a life coach for women who want more
