Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

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 grew up always attending church; as I got older I have always been active in a church; I do not believe in a pew sitter.

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

Salem Baptist Church as a usher and president of the Usher Ministry for 15-20 years; served on the Women’s Ministry Team for 1 year.

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

Being the daughter of 2 amazing parents who instilled so much in me, that made me the person I am today.

Becoming a Mother of 2 daughters; made me know that I had to raise them to be contributing citizens in their community and be able to take care of themselves.

I was raised to treat everyone with respect and the way I want to be treated. This has made me who I am today.

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:

I have been blessed to have not gone through a lot of negative experiences; the only thing that I can think of is when my Dad passed and now I am caring for my 97 year old Mother full time in my home.
