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

The Holy Spirit worked very hard on me! After an evening of questions from me to a friend I decided I would ask Jesus to save me. I’ve never been sorry! I made a complete turn around.

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

Grace Bible Church, Dallas City, IL for over 40 years. Teacher, Youth Co-leader, janitor, pantry board and helper, nursing home speaker and visitor, nursery, Bible study leader, AWANA helper, VBS helper, chior.

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

Good school teachers. A wonderful mentor after salvation, a great Bible study leader for many 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:

Married to a drug and alcohol user for 26 years. Divorce.
