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

When I was in high school youth group, I attended a revival gathering and felt the call of God on my life. I went forward and gave my life to Christ. As a young adult the Holy Spirit prompted me in a church service to make a more public display of my faith by going to the alter for prayer. Several years later I was baptized.

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

1978-79: Cumberland Presbyterian, Albuquerque – Sunday School assistance
1980-84: Westminster Chapel – assisted elementary Sunday School class

1987-2005: Highlands Community Church – lead small groups in Awana (K-3rd), co-taught 2nd grade girls Sunday School, Sunday school coordinator for elementary classes, worked as an Admin Assistance to Small Groups Pastor (3 years), created the weekly bulletin and led the volunteer crew to collate

2005 – present: LifePoint – media, nursery, greeting, set up crew, organized events, hosted and led small groups, facilitated women’s groups and events, taught 101 group, member of the Guiding Board

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

Becoming a mom

Living in so many different places – child of an Air Force officer

Job as an Administrative Assistant for Small Groups Pastor
