Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Growing up, my parents didn’t really go to Church, but would try to get me and my brother involved. Fast forward, I was working for my Dads company in shipping and receiving. I cut my hand and was required to take a drug test immediately. I got scared and begged God to help me before taking the test. I was told to go home until test came back. On the way home, I started yelling out to God, telling him I don’t want to live my life this way anymore. I asked him to rescue me. Shortly after, I started attending Spring Baptist Church and got involved in the youth ministry. I prayed with a youth minister and received Christ.
