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

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

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

What dating a girl in high school, she invited me to attend church. I attended and went to a local concert and they sang the song Thank you Lord for Saving my Sole. When I took her home and parked in the driveway I cried and said I wanted salvation and to be rich and free. I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart that night.

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

I did serve a Bear Like Bible Camp for a few summers in Jones, Michigan. served as counselor and camp nurse with my EMT license.

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

Getting an education

Giving CPR and giving life back to that person

Adapting Frankie and Nathan as my own.

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:

Growing up without a father

Little contact with siblings since being adults

Seeing other doing the wrong thing over and over and expecting different results
