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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

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

Knew God from a young age, but lived the way I wanted to. After living an unfulfilled life, I had enough. God brought to my breaking point because that’s where He needed me before I would come to Him and I finally surrendered.

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

Salty Church OB FL. Volunteer in greeting/welcome crew. 3 months

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

Having a loving Father who is a man of God.

Helping raise my 4 year old nephew.

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:

Bearing the brunt of my moms addiction while also seeing her through it and witnessing her overcome it.

Losing my best friend since childhood to Jehovah Witness, but having peace that God will bring her back to Him one day.

Stopped enabling an ex boyfriend so he could restart his recovery process.

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
