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 seven years old at my church on a Wednesday evening. I felt God speak to me that I needed him so I ran down to the front at the altar call and a lady showed me what to do and I prayed to receive Jesus as my Savior. It was a very joyful moment that I cherish.

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

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

Going to live with my grandparents when I was a teenager made a huge impact in my life. I grew closer to Jesus and received peace and stability in my life.

When I was a teenager, I did not know what I wanted to be when I grew up so a teacher at my church asked me to volunteer in her classroom at school as a teacher’s aide. I did and that is when I fell in love with kindergarten.

When I got my job at Excel Christian Academy, it was very enlightening and helped me ease into teaching because I was with kind and supportive people. I was also able to meet my husband because I moved to GA because of my job and now we have 2 sweet little girls.

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:

Having parents who do not want their children is tough. I really have a heart for children in foster care.

My family has also been through abuse so I really hate to see that. It brings back the helpless feelings.
