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

I don’t ever remember not being a Christian. My faith became stronger getting confirmed at 10 grade at the age of 16

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

Eagle Lake Lutheran Church Willmar. Confirmation leader 5 years

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

My Grandma reading the Bible to me while I was growing up. She lived with us and often times would watch me

Holy communion !!

Taking my confirmation kids on a mission trip

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:

I was married to an alcoholic that eventually killled himself. I have a compassion for couples going through the same thing

I had my first baby at 19. Married the father .. huge mistake. He didn’t have a job. Feel for teenage mothers

God has always blessed me with great employment even if I don’t have a collage degree
