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 was raised in a Christian home but became stronger in my faith in high school. I went through a lot of difficult years in my twenties and redeveloped my faith and confidence more recently within the last year.

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

Berlin Mennonite- Bible School, nursery, Creative Planning team (monthly meetings to plan sermons/themes)

New Pointe Millersburg- Nursery, Grace- 2/3 year olds

Berlin Elementary School- after school program

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

having two children

hand lettering side business

coming from a loving, supportive family

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:

currently going through a divorce, becoming a single parent, and finding a new job to support myself and 2 children

living with a spouse with a mental illness, addictions, and abuse for years
