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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I group up in the church and became a Christian because of the way my parents live their life. I look up to my Dad and am very fond of him and wanted to be like him. Once I became a Christian I liked it and believed it.

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

Eastside Christian Church. Anaheim, California. 7 years. We served in Rosarito Mexico

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

Taking pride in doing work for others that has no outcome or money for me.

Seeing the joy on others people’s faces seeing what God has provided them.

Then learning about other cultural that I would have otherwise never experienced.

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:

Battling addiction to alcohol because I still struggle with that.

Adoption has shaped me into who I am. I dont know if I would call it negative but some aspects of it suck.

Having family members go to prison.
