Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I am a sinner saved by the grace of God alone, which is completed in the perfect life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I am undeserving and unable to provide anything to my salvation. My salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ, my Lord.

I grew up in a Christian home and was taught the Truths of the gospel at an early age. I told my mom one night when I was young that I wanted to believe in Jesus as my Savior, for the forgiveness of my sins. Throughout high school and some parts of college, I believed all the Truths of Christ, but was in a place of more head knowledge and outward clean living than an obsession with the person of Jesus and a relationship with Him. A key turning point for me was at a family camp when we had a speaker on missions. He conveyed the Truths that I had heard before but, by the grace of God, I was moved to start looking outwardly instead of inwardly in my faith in Jesus. This has been working in me to in two major ways: one is to be applying the Truths to how I live in all areas of my life ( this is a big work in progress) and second is to spread the gospel of Jesus to whomever is willing to listen ( another area that I am need a lot of practice in ). I serve the only God and want others to willing serve Him too.
