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

At the lowest point in my life, I asked God if He was real, to take my life. I was thinking of suicide but He responded by bringing me into His Kingdom at an Aglow meeting between a tongues and interpretation getting born again and filled with the Holy Spirit the next day.

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

Led women’s Bible studies at several churches. Took 3 year lay counselor training and counseled with Good Samaritan Ministries.

Took 3 year lay counselor training and counseled with Good Samaritan Ministries for a season.

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

Discipled by an older woman.

Married my spouse and had several children.

I have attended lots of Christian seminars and teachings. I read a lot of Christian books.

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:

I moved 40 times before I finished high school and did not learn good social and friendship skills. Thank God for Christian women who came along side me!

I went through a divorce and lost a child. Had a couple miscarriages.

Did not have my father in my life after age 7. Was very rebellious until I was born again and began turning around.
