I am a good listener, I have words of wisdom, words of encouragement, I am soft-spoken and kind, I will tell you the truth when you need to hear it.

I believe I am wise rather than knowledgable because I have experienced certain things and I’m able to relate to other people based on my own struggles and battles.

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

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

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

[E]xperience

I grew up going to church and volunteering at summer Bible camps. I was baptized at the age of 14. It really took me six years to fully understand and except Jesus as Lord and Saviour of my life. It took waking up in the middle of the night with an overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety and like totally turned my life around, I was living a life that was not honouring the Lord and at the same time I was telling people that I was a Christian I was living a double minded life. After a year of healing after certain circumstances in my life I fully surrendered everything and excepted him into my heart my life has never been the same and at the same time has never been better.
