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

I heard God say “you don’t understand my mercy” in the hall at school in 7th grade after an assembly where some guy said I couldn’t be good enough to go to heaven. As I left assembly, i mumbled under my breath “if You are so ‘good,’ why to bad things happen to ‘good’ people – and He answered me! I went home and read a Bible that night and started asking my friends if they would bring me to their churches. One night I kneeled on my bedroom floor and asked God to “keep” me, and offered Him my life. We have been in growing relationship ever since.
