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

I grew up Catholic, but was a surface level believer at best. I didn’t know why I believed what I believed, so in my teenage years I started to question my faith and stray away from religion as my focused turned towards college, myself, and the experience of life I wished to create. I realized I couldn’t do life by myself when attaining my goals after and during college didn’t bring me the fulfillment I was longing for. My search for meaning, purpose, and destiny eventually brought me to a church that had explained Jesus and the gospel in a way that I hadn’t heard. At that time my ears and heart were open and decided to say yes to the possibility of Jesus as the one true God.
