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 became a Christian when I was in the eighth grade. My sister told me the Gospel of Jesus and I was filled with curiosity. I got my first bible and I read daily and took notes on what I was reading, I continued to do so to this day. It confessed that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior who died for my sins.
While I was in college I was having a tough time with my identity and through this tough time of not knowing who I was in Christ, I got to know Him and see/realize that my identity is in Him. With this new truth, I started living boldly and doing things in Spirit and Truth. Once I graduated from college, I came to Higher D, and in 2017 I got baptized. Today, I am continuing to grow in God’s word and living in truth.
