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

Don’t remember much. Got baptized on Easter Sunday at 12 years old.

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

Destiny Christian Fellowship
Fremont, CA
Choir; 2 years

Liberty Temple Baptist Church
Detroit, MI
Choir; 12 years

Fellowship Baptist Church
Cleveland, OH
Choir and Usher; 18 years

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

Mrs. Woods at Fellowship Baptist Church – no matter what was happening or going on, she always had a smile on her face like she knew something no one else did.

When I first moved to Maryland from Detroit, I was struggling financially. I was not paying tithes at the time. I couldn’t make my car insurance payment. God spoke to me and told me that if I would quit robbing Him with my tithes and offerings that he would pour me out a blessing that I wouldn’t have room to receive. I have been tithing from that day until this and His promise is true.

In 2016 I was ready to move back to Maryland from California for a number of reasons. I started to fast one day a week and pray fervently. God heard my prayer and made a way for me to move back. I arrived January 1, 2017.

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:

I was married to a drug addict.

I was bullied as a kid.

I had a teenage pregnancy.
