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 was saved when I was 5. I didn’t know the true meaning of having a relationship with God until I was in College. I was never taught that growing up, but instead it was all religious rules to follow what I could and couldn’t do.

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

Bethel Worship Center, I helped minister with youth group in college. It was short lived and I soon realized that wasn’t what I was called to do!

JAM, after school program with elementary age children

Faith Alive at IWU, extra for worship team

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

Building relationships with people I attended church with in the past

Participating/attending weekly services, at Faith Alive. I really grew spiritually and learned what it meant to have a love relationship with God.

I have to give some credit to my parents for raising me in church. This contributes to who I am and values I have learned.

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:

Experiencing pain, I haven’t always had wholeness physically, emotionally or spiritually. I hate seeing people struggle with not having wholeness in their life in any of these areas. God is a healer who wants his people be made whole. He has brought healing to my life and I want to be able to share this with others.
