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

Raised in a Christian home and always at church. Accepted that Jesus died for me and my sins and was baptized in the spring, 1957. Very active in youth activities but strayed during college. A relationship with God and church membership became important, filling a hole/void, in late 70s and grew as became a parent.

First Baptist Camden – Assistant to youth minister in Sunday School and Discipleship Training; Women on Mission Coordinator; Social Services, Student Aid, and Constitution & Bylaws Committees; Sunday School secretary; VBS records

Parenting two daughters with different personalities but similar hearts

Interviewing clients at CCM

Observing my parents serve and give in their church and in their community with no desire for recognition

Having my offer to serve as volunteer office manager at CCM be rejected – taught be that I didn’t do a good job of casting a vision which helped me see the difference between leadership and administration.

Broke my ankle and was homebound for over 3 months – showed me and our family the importance of caring friends and acquaintances who blessed us continually.

Attempted to mentor two different ladies, helping them financially then seeing them make “bad” choices – taught me to be cautious, less controlling, but also less involved so that I don’t take reactions/results personally.
