1. Sending time with those I love.

2. Being outside and staying active.

3. Growing in various areas of my life such as marriage, work, spiritually, & physically.

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

When I was younger, I thought since my dad was a pastor and I went to church every Sunday/attended youth group that I was the ultimate Christian. I knew PCC, the verses, and I thought my friends and I ran the church. Fast forward to high school when I went to Hume and realized that being a Christian is so much more and that it needs to be your own faith, not anyone else. I dedicated my life to God. Then, I went home with a camp high ready to take on the world. Slowly, I fell back into placing God in a little wagon behind me and only taking him out when I really needed him. Fast forward to college, I hit my absolute rock bottom when I was assaulted. I tried to take it on myself and was in full denial of what happened. That’s when I realized that I truly need God more than anything or anyone in my life. That’s when my faith became my own.
