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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Someone my family knew had died. I began asking questions about what was next. I knew the Bible stories and understood that Jesus died for my sins. I talked with my mom for months because I had a hard time understanding that I didn’t have to “do” something to be saved. One Sunday I realized that I simply had to choose Jesus, and I made the choice.

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

Taught youth Sunday School at First Baptist Bryan (1996 – 2003)

Women’s small group leader at Houston’s First Baptist (2008 – 2010?)

Choir off and on – Parkside Baptist (growing up); Bannockburn (the past couple of years)

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

Attending youth camp grades 6-12 (Texas week at Falls Creek, OK)

Working with youth camps during the summers in college

Attending the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor

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:

Bad job experience that led to depression

My brother is fighting cancer.

Stress takes a big toll on me physically. I am a stress-eater and tend to gain weight when I’m not happy.
