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

I was invited to perform with my dance group at an event, which we found out on site it was a Christian event. I was touched by the message and left mesmerized.. I kept attending, knowing that i was being called by something, and i gave my life to Christ at a Christian Hip Hop Concert when i was 16.

Previously in my youth worship team and served on a missions trip to Costa Rica in high school 2004-2007. (LifeChurch, Allentown, PA).

My father was and still is a big influence in my life and instilled self-confidence and independence in me from a young age.

Getting closer with my family after my accident.

Being one of the first people in my family to graduate college.

Both of my parents were incarcerated when i was a child, i had to go through “foster care” within my own family with people i barely knew. It wasn’t until years later that I realized God was with me the whole time and protected my sanity.

I was in a terrible car accident and broke almost every bone in my body. This experience helped me fully rely on God and others, and taught me so much about patience, humility, and compassion, especially as it relates to disabilities and accessibility.

I grew up in great poverty and violence in low-income housing, but kept my education at the core of the situation as my “way out”. I found God in high school and He helped me see that I was never alone throughout the years of struggling.
