[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

3. Listening to the testimony of others and sharing my own to develop close relationships.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I enjoy working with teenagers who are experiencing hardship and are looking for support.

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

I experienced a lot of trauma growing up with abuse, neglect, and mental health. My friend introduced me to a youth group where I learned to forgive others and myself and accept Gods love for me. Ever since a concert for Christians I went to in 7th grade I have devoted my life to helping others find contentment and love in Jesus Christ.
