1. I enjoy the simple things, like getting up in the morning and reading with a nice cup of coffee, or reading the word in a coffee shop after work as a way of winding down.

2. I love to travel, and see the world, or in general just be outside in creation.

3. I have a soft spot for children. Serving children, and being around them in general is something that I thoroughly enjoy. I am the second oldest of nine children, so watching over little ones is something Ive always done.

Variety

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

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

I have always been in the church; I grew up very involved. My dad is a pastor, and I was homeschooled, but when i went to college, I strayed away from the church a little bit. I always felt a void in that area, and as I got older I realized the full weight of my sin, and the amazing grace that is granted through faith, and I went back to my faith, and understand it even better now.
