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 grew up in the church and was baptized at 6, but didn’t really know what I was doing and what it meant. When I was 14 I met another girl who acutally lived for Christ and that showed me what it meant to be a Christian. I think that’s when I really became a Christian, it was kind of a gradual change. Then when I was 20 I got rebaptized for a true believer’s baptism.

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

GA teacher/leader, BBC, 2007- 2011 (I think, it was when we stopped having GAs and just did Awanas.

Life Group Leader, BBC, 2016-1018

Nominating Team Member, BBC, 2015-2018, Chair 2018

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

Going to a Christian college – challenged me spiritually and I grew a lot

Moving to Texas from South Carolina, not knowing anyone and figuring stuff out on my own.
