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

12 yrs old, raised in church, struggled and wasted many yrs with my will, not knowing I was being rebellious..the word changed my life.

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:

Having my two children and living with a husband of verbal abuse..
Divorcing husband and get right with God.

Going through periods of suidical thoughts and deep depression, and being bound by Satan, then being set free by Christ and the cross.

Praying for God to send me a truly man of God…..and he did…
My life seems in the center of Gods will and we get daily insight through the word of God

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 dark time….giving me insight that people need the light, and I am willing to testify of freedom

Doc. Told me when I was a young mom that I was going to die in three months and that was 35 yrs ago. I was totally healed…I believe
I was not disappointed in my choice to serve Christ..learn to speak truth

Being a only child, when I lost both my parents, feeling of emptiness through that experiences, Holy Spirit gave me peace only he could give.
Made me realize how precious and short life can be.
