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 worked in a Christian environment and that encouraged me to make the decision. I used to attend church regularly and serve in ministries but I was not baptized. One summer the Lord spoke to me and said it is time I surrender fully to him. I called my pastor in New York and advised of the next steps. I was never influenced by another believer but it was through my consistent worship to the Lord and my committment to serve in His Kingdom, that I drew closer to Him. When I heard from the Lord, I knew it was time and I was ready. I never hesitated.

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

Hollis Presbyterian Church, New York: Outreach Ministry Member – 4 years, Dance Ministry Co-coordinator – 6 years, First Fruits Ministry Co-coordinator – 2 years, Website Committee Co-coordinator – 3 years, Usher Board – 2 years, Deacon Board – 4 years

Swallowfield Chapel, Kingston: Girls Club – 3 years, Star Child – 4 years
