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 always told about God, so he was always real on some level for me. I accepted Jesus and began the journey in grade 10 or 11

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

Breath of Life SDA Choir

Centerville SDA prayer ministry, prison ministry

At Centerville, a mix of young people from different churches would get together and visit the hospital, those sick at home, and those who were bedridden. We visited the Children Emergency Hostel regularly

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

Working for the government has trained me in ways I did not expect, and have placed me in very good company.

Graduating from college showed me that I can persevere

A random man I showed kindness to one day, saved my life months down the line. He taught me that there is good reason God said not to get weary in well doing.

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:

A person I called my best friend for 15 years let me know that she was waiting for things to go bad for me during my lowest moment. Not everyone sees their enemies. Don’t be so hard on someone who can not tell a friend from an enemy.

Some charismatic, sociable and privileged buffoon raped me and I endured people slandering me for years because they believed he was innocent. The crowd is not always right

Life happened, and taught me that life goes on. Don’t quit
