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

I honestly don’t ever remember not believing in God, for as long as I can remember. As a child, my mom took us to church regularly. As a teen, I suffered from self-confidence issues and I probably didn’t take attending PVC very seriously, but I was a teen volunteer in the kid’s ministry and I always loved that. I went off to college and then moved away from VA so the church wasn’t a priority for me. Once we had kids I knew we had to change and we searched for the right place to make sure our kids had the same foundational belief.

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

Park Valley, Early Childhood (Haymarket & Warrenton) – about 2 years I think (?- not sure how long)

Park Valley Black Softball Team Coach (1.5 seasons – I had to hand this off to another team member when my job required much more travel)

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

becoming a parent

growing up playing softball through D1 in college (teams are key)

my grandmother and her battle with cancer

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:

self-esteem as a teenager

extended family splits

anxiety
