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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in the church but strayed as a teenager/young adult. I started to feel a pull towards God in 2016 and started going to church again, but not consistently. During this time, I was in a toxic relationship and I felt very diminished as a person. In 2018, I got to the point where I wanted to take my own life but Jesus met me that night on my bathroom floor. I received Christ that night and was baptized less than 3 moths later.

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

N/A

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

Attending boarding school after fifth form. I got a chance to figure who I am outside of my parents and family’s expectations as well as exposure to a diverse group of friends

Working summer jobs with my aunt who saw the organized, planning skills I had and helped me to hone them

Having a close knit extended family, I never felt alone as a child

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 parents fell onto hard times when I was teenager and I learned from how they handled money during that time

Being in a toxic relationship searching for only what the Lord can provide

Feeling like I didn’t belong at times in high school
