Variety

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 had grown up going to a Christian school and church all my life, so I knew about Jesus and had learned about the Bible. I was 16 and my youth pastor at the time was preaching about the wheat and the tears in Matthew (I think it was). Something just clicked with me from that message and I knew I needed to ask Jesus into my heart right then.

Getting married

Becoming a mother

My mom recovering from brain cancer (not necessarily the most positive situation, but positive in the sense that it’s given me a new perspective/outlook on life and to really appreciate your loved ones. If you love someone, tell them every day because you never know when it could be the last day.)

Struggling with a particular sin and coming out of that by the grace of God

I went through a time when I didn’t go to church much, didn’t spend time in the Word or praying, and didn’t fellowship with other believers. Now, that has helped me empathize with those who say they are Christians but might feel similarly to how I felt.

Dealing with depression and getting better and out of that cycle

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?
