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

Chelsea First United Methodist (Chelsea, MI); Finance Committee ~3yrs (2 as chair); Planning Committee ~2 yrs

Missions – Jackson Interfaith Shelter, Man UP & Go, Faith In Action, Brightmoor Alliance, Lola Children’s Home

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

Choosing to be a good person a long time ago (unbeknownst to me)

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:

My mother’s passing

Having some not-so God loving managers for long periods of time

Following what I believe to be the expectations of God and people distancing themselves from me because of that
