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 am a cradle Catholic, falling away during my 20’s, coming back to the church in my 30’s. Went to church, sent my kids to Catholic school, said prayers but didn’t have a personal relationship with Christ till my husband left our marriage and we divorced. That crisis brought me to a small group and I’ve grown ever since.

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

St Dennis for past 26 years. Very active in St Dennis school for 15 years: volunteering in classrooms, led major fundraising efforts, led and on tons of school committees, Meal program 8 years, leader of prayer 15 years, usher 6 years, church finance Committee 2 years, Education Commission 5 years, Festival game chair 5 years and chair of the flea market past 2 years and worked flea market 6 years.

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

Having role model parents

St Dennis school – making life long friends

Relationship with my sister

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:

Having cancer

A divorce

Abusive relationship
