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

After high school I encountered Jesus for my own after being raised in the church and I experienced the Holy Spirit and gave my whole life to Jesus

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

Resurrection Christian center in the Bronx – Sunday school teacher for all children ages and for youth (10 years)
Worship team member (5 years)
Worship team leader (1 year)
Youth leader (2 years)
Cleaning ministry ( 15 years)
Praise and worship dance (15 years)

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

A missions trip to Mississippi when I was 16

Becoming a teacher beginning my career

When I first started directing dance ministry

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:

Someone in leadership taking advantage of their position and abusing their power on the worship team – tried to control who gets what gifts from the Holy Spirit

Serving in too many ministries at once and not being able to give my best self in all that I’m serving in

Sex is taught in the church has been negative and unhealthy and I wish to teach in a healthy way that honors God but also honors what God created for good inside if marriage.
