I know what it is like to be in a dark place and have God pull me out of that and to see the encouragement from others that I received during that time.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was saved when I was 17 on a youth trip. My dad was a youth minister when I was growing up and I was involved for many years in church until my parents split up. I felt lost for many years during that period and when I was a sophomore in high school I got back into church and combed in a group called S.A.L.T. Where we did sign language performances and it lit a fire in me. I eventually got saved when I was a senior in high school.

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

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

Marrying my husband. He has shown me the love of Christ even when I was not very lovable.

My dad marrying my step mom. She has shown me the unconditional love of a mother but also of a Godly woman and what that looks like.

Joining the S.A.L.T group in church as a sophomore. The women who led that are the women I still aspire to be today. They are some of the godliest women I have ever met. Their hearts for God and The compassion they have for others is truly admirable.

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:

My parents divorce.

Finding out my little brother was not my dads biological son.

When my marriage became rocky.
