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 was raised in a Catholic church and always knew I believed in God and Jesus. When I was living in China I learned that I could have a relationship with Jesus and that was when I became a true follower and wanted to live for Him and His purpose.

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

The Vail Church, Vail/CO, Children’s Ministry, 2 years.

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

When I moved to China I met my friend Katherine who taught me about how she’s had a relationship with Jesus and learned from him, instead of just going to church and going through the motions. Since then I have been more motivated to learn about the word of God and his plan for me.

When I moved to Vail I joined a bible study of all women and this really connected me with people in the community and with the church I went to. I also learned about bible studies and how to spend time with God each day, which has helped me learn more about me.

My husband and I went to pre-marital counseling before getting married and through those sessions and learning about each other, I learned more about what my role is in this marriage and how we can work together as teammates.

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:

Over the summer I had a miscarriage and I fell into a deep depression which lasted a long time. I felt very alone. From that experience I have learned more about life and how truly precious it is and how I can support others who go through similar experiences.

When I lived in Vail I also went through a depression and felt very alone. Having dealt with this a few times in my life it has made me want to help others who have the same struggles.

When I lived in China I changed a lot and learned more about the world and where I fit in. Because of this I had a lot of fights with my family, but it helped me learn what I want out of life and how I can grow and change.

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. I would love to open up or co-start a Christian preschool that focuses on teaching the word and about teaching parents.

4. I would love to volunteer more with children and families, especially teaching families about child development.

5. I would love to continue learning about God and his word so that I can accurately share it with others.
