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

When I think back I became a Christian as a child. My parents had me attending Sunday School and Church from as far back as I can remember ( 4 or 5 years old). I joined the church when I was about 8 years old but didn’t have a true understanding of what it meant to be a Christian until my teenage years.

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

Tabernacle Baptist Church, Dayton, Ohio, Scholarship Committee. It was very brief. I attended 3 meetings but felt the committee was territorial. (About 10 years ago)

Tabernacle Baptist Church, Dayton, Ohio, Boy scouts and Cub Scouts Committee. I worked with that ministry for a year (20 years ago)

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

The upbringing my parents provided me and the environment they raised me in.

Having my parents as a cheerleader for each milestone I reached in my life.

Graduating from College and Graduate School

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:

Going through kidney failure, going on dialysis for 3 1/2 years before being transplanted.

Going through Divorce twice.

Losing a job
