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 became a Christian when I was 7 years old at a revival service at my church. As a very shy child, the holy spirit lead me to actually go forward at the end of the service on my own-something I would have never done on my own. Throughout my life God used different situations to grow my faith. When I was eleven I rededicated my life to God as I felt like I had a clearer understanding of my relationship with God. During my college years, I truly experienced God’s transformation of my life and learned better how to serve him fully.

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

Young Life Leader – high school kids 3-4 years
Former church – Sunday School teacher for youth

Kanakuk Kamp- office assistant 2 summers

Church – Nursery volunteer/ Coordinator 5+, Awana Leader 10+, Welcome Team K-2 area 10+ years, Preschool Assistant Director 18 years

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

Marriage

Becoming a parent

Kanakuk & Young Life experiences

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:

Death of my mom, father-in-law, & mother-in-law

Brother in law choices to be homeless and ultimately loss of his life
