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

While reading a christian book for young girls in grade school I prayed the sinners prayer. I can’t remember a time though, when I didn’t know Christ. My Mom was a very strong believer and lived and taught us about faith in Christ.

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

Director of Children’s Education, Sunday School teacher, Nursery worker, Worship Leader, Small group leader and host for women, small group leader for inner city boys, member of counseling team. Worship Leader, Small group leader and host for women, small group leader for inner city boys, Aids Victims team member and mission team member to West Africa 3 times.

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

Receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit which provided the impetus to attend 2 years of bible school.

Receiving inner healing as a result of attending Vineyard Christian Fellowship when John Wimber was still alive and being part of a small group.

Being used by the Lord in healing the sick and giving words of knowledge that brought people to Christ.

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 25 years to a man who molested children and 18 years to a man who had been molested as a child. Divorced from both.

Buried a child who was 18, 5 unborn children and both parents.

Suffered a lot of rejection and abandonment.
