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

My grandmother introduced me to The Lord when I was a toddler*

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

Project management to oversee new build of food bank and free store and renovation of community center, and executive assistance to the ministry founder…

Harvest House, Williamston/MI, Executive Assistant, about 6 months

I left this group because of deception and inconsiderate behavior I could not align with, namely: gossip, dishonesty, hostility, and blind followers… among other things.

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

The nurturing of my grandmother when I was young.

Having children.

Academic and professional opportunities, and unique friendships developed during my years living both in Canada and in the United States.

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:

Dysfunction, fear and depression in childhood

Emotional and financial devastation of divorce; painful understanding the difference between helping and enabling; learning that following a spouse (or anyone) who leads you away from God is destruction

Stresses associated with single parenting, toxic work environments, and the physiological and hormonal issues of aging
