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 at a VBS when I was a young girl, but really grew and developed my faith during middle/high school under a great youth pastor.

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

MOPS – Fortified Hills Baptist Church, Dallas, GA Co-Coordinator 1 year and Table Leader Coordinator 1 year

Pine Springs Camp, Pennsylvania, Camp Counselor – 1 year

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

Being involved with a strong youth group and effective youth pastor during my middle/high school years

Having a Christian boyfriend turn husband for the past 15 years

Being involved with church Bible studies and MOPS for the past 10 or so years

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:

Terrible struggles with depression and anxiety most of my adult life

Having a child almost die from heart and respiratory failure

Raising and struggling in some aspects with having a strong willed child (he’s only 5) 🙂 – gives me a passion for parenting and reading Biblical advice regarding parenting, also causes me to seek wise council from parents older than myself
