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 started reading my bible when going through separation from my husband and found it very interesting and real. I then went and bought the book “Purpose Driven Life” (led by the Holy Spirit) and decided to give my life to Jesus in the chapter that is asked.

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

Grace Ministry – Youth Director – 2016-2018 (3 yrs), community missions

OM – Short term overseas missions – 2017, 2018, 2019

Praise Academy of Dance – 2014 – present
Freedom in Christ Ja – 2016 – present Small group leader

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

Studying overseas and being apart of a life group from Hope Brisbane Church. It was the first time I had actually seen Christians that were real and actually loved like Christ.

Being involved in Freedom in Christ Ministries – revolutionized my way of thinking and has definitely made me understand who I am in Christ, gain freedom over strongholds and help others do the same.

Being involved in overseas missions in Asia – made me realize how much God loves the lost and how much we take the gospel for granted in the Western world.

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:

Divorce – where I began to seek God

Growing up in a chaotic household – I know how much it affects people and relationships and also how God can redeem them

Addictions – helps me to be more compassionate and understanding towards others in those situations.
