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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I chose to believe Jesus as my savior & lord. This journey began at age 8 while sitting with my grandfather who said, I would be the “preacher” of my family. The hunger for knowing God and understanding who He is began me on my journey. At the age of 9; Popa died and his death caused my world to be turned upside down. Church Family members who were sweet, kind and caring were forever changed in my eyes as a result of his death. The sweet fun church family that I affectionately look to would in less than 7 days turn their backs, and friendships and hearts from me and my family. Popa’s death only brought out the worst in people. Ministers were fighting for positions and power within the church, blind ambitions and selfishness was running rampant. You’ve heard the old saying” now that the horse is out of the stable there’s no turning back”; well that is even more true for my now fractured perspective of my church family.

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

St. Peter’s Catholic Church — at age 16 Teaching the Catholic Rites and Christian Education to converts to the Catholic Faith, Mansfield, OH 1986 – 1988

Trustee For Greater St. John’s COGIC 1992 – 2001
Teacher & Lecturer on Finances

2010 – 2012 Asst Teacher & Lead Couple For Marriage 4 Life
2018 – Co-Director for Marriage Ministry World Changers Church VR

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

love of people and for marriages

love of teaching and having a foundation of truth to share with others

love of sharing God’s goodness in my life to others

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:

transparency is necessary for healing & forgiveness

people are all searching for practical, relevant answers for how to live in this world with a victory mindset

People will change when they are ready for change
