Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

Growing up in a home without any religion and a Mom with bipolar disorder, a Dad with anger issues and, three siblings. One who became a drug addict and blamed me for all her problems. The other two followed and I chose to go another path. With all of this I was struggle with type 1 diabetes, seizures, double vision from a lazy eye, and asthma. This went on from 2008 until 2016.

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

Living Hope
Carmichael CA
9 months

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

My friend Samantha Hazen introduced me to church.

Disney movies and the Bible always had me thinking about grace.

My life struggle helps me see that it wont last forever. God is with me and the light will come.

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 sister screaming all the things she hates about herself to me. It helped me see how people really work and project stuff onto others.

Type 1 diabetes for 21 years has shown me long suffering. That I must keep going and faith in the Lord

Prayers can be answered in the most unexpected ways at the most unexpected time. It can be so frustrating and yet so joyful.
