[H]eart

1. Cook a meal and sit around the table with family or friends and have discussions. That speaks love to me, being around the table together.

2. Learn something new. I am a lifelong learner and I love to learn new things, especially in the kitchen. I also love to help others to learn.

3. I love to organize my home and fill it with pleasing things to look at. Not just anything, but things that mean something to me. It needs to visually be pleasing, without clutter.

Adult women, mostly.

I’ve enjoyed working with women’s ministry, doing registration. I have in the past also worked on women’s events and have enjoyed that as well. And I enjoyed working as a marriage coach. I enjoy working with a group.

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

[E]xperience

I met my husband and saw that he had a spark and joy that I was missing in my life, and I wanted that, too. He shared with me that it was Jesus, and shared scripture that showed me how to accept Jesus as my savior. After I prayed for Jesus to forgive my sins and come into my heart, it was like blinders were taken off my eyes and I could see clearly for the first time in my life. I truly had an experience that changed my life forever.
