Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Started attending a church in my teens. Continued attending through high school. Summer following my high school graduation, spent time reading the Book of John. On the third reading, made a decision to accept Christ after reading John 3:16.

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

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

Receiving a grade of (A+) on a technology project in my teaching credential class – helped me to trust on my sense of excellence and to realize my passion is in work where time is of no essence/importance with me. The work is done when I’m satisfied.

Skydiving, first time in 2017 and 2nd time in 2018. Helped me realize that sometimes the best things in life is on the other side of fear.

Turning 50 ~ took inventory of life and health. Made a decision what was negotiable AND NON-negotiable with my life. This impacted my relationships/friendships, type and quality of work, and how I invested my time.

My relationship with my mother.
