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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

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

There isnt exactly a point in my life when I believe i “became” a christian. I grew up in the church believing that God died on the cross for me and that I am saved through him and him alone. I think my faith grew more and more when i started having anxiety and i couldnt depend on those around me or those who werent there, so i had to put my faith in God to get me through the hard times.

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

At my old school, i would lead people in worship in 6-7th grade. Then when i came to my next school, i got to lead worship for 10-11th grade

I also helped at my old church Real Life but they closed down because they couldnt afford the building anymore

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

Having all kinds of different friends with different personalities has really shaped me .

Having a mom that is so close to me and since i dont have any siblings, she is my best friend

Having my Fiance Isaac has impacted my life greatly and has also helped me in my journey in the Lord

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:

My dad dying and having to deal with the anxiety i got from that

Having an uncle who is autistic has made me see the world a lot clearer and see people for who they really are

Certain schools, i had to deal with people and circumstances that made me really open my eyes and see what the world is really like.
