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 grew up in church but “fell off” as I got older. One of the most memorable experiences with Christ was during my college years while going through a divorce.

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

I served as praise dance ministry dancer, then leader. I served on the church’s nonprofit organization that focused on assisting youth and struggling adults and families alongside Pastor Harris. I also co-led girl’s ministry. I served on women’s conference committee and I was an announcer (video announcements and in person). Bright Star COGIC -Chicago, IL-2 Years consecutively.

Dance ministry and youth department- Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist Church Chicago

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

I was taken in by another family outside of my biological one.

I went to college out of state ( first generation graduate).

I decided to have my baby once I became pregnant in school.

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 biological mother neglected and disassociated herself from me.

I’ve had abortions as a teen because of lack of guidance.

I’ve gone through a divorce.
