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

Marrying my husband who I met in college and dated for 4 1/2 years

Hearing my parents consistently tell me that they are proud of me and that they love me

Honoring and validating the questions, concerns, and curiosities of children in children’s ministry as we had fun learning and growing together

Stepping in for a friend as to give her opportunity and occupying the role of Acting District Engineer for a year

Having no skill set or know-how to help a friend in need who was suicidal and died

Being treated differently from children of another race by a math teacher who celebrated success and publicly ostracized failure
