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

In third grade my friends were getting baptized and I wanted to be like them, so as the Sunday school teacher said, I repeated a prayer. I did not understand what it meant at the time, but several years latter while sitting in church I became convicted of my sin. I avoided it for awhile until I couldn’t sleep, then I prayed again, this time telling God I knew what I was doing.

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

World Relief Fort Worth- Match Grant Intern. 1 year.

FBC Houma- Youth Intern. 3 summers.

Hope Extreme- volunteer. 3 years

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

being mentored through FBCA staff

mission trips & teaching experiences

being discipled by my youth minister.

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:

Abusive home/split family

grief/mourning

Depression
