Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

[E]xperience

I was approached by a stranger on an Air Force base where I was stationed awaiting my assignment for active duty. I was outside sweeping the sidewalk when he came up to me, read my name tag, and told me that Jesus loves me. I at first brushed it off because I knew Jesus loves everybody but them he persisted to make sure I knew that Jesus loved me by name. I couldn’t shake the feeling I felt that day and stayed up that night reading the bible for the first time. I soon after became sick, was discharged, and went home to find myself exactly where God needed me to be so that I may find Him and accept Him as my Lord and savior.
