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
My brief testimony of how I became a Christian
Became a Christian at Vacation Bible School as a child (primary grade)
became a mature Christian as a young adult
Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):
Methodist church as a teenager–HS and College
women of faith while stationed in Europe
Methodist church in Hawaii –Sunday school and bible studies
Teacher and leadership counselor at Kamehameha School
Baptist church in North Carolina, Washington, and California
List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:
My grandmother Mary and great-grandmother in Scotland who bought me my first bible as soon as I was able to read and taught me how to pray and hope as a young child
The birth of my first child–the miracle of life. An answer to prayer
and coaching an unwed mother from my church in Hawaii as she gave birth to her second child, it was very different being on the other side of the bed but still a wonderful miracle of life.
My trip to Israel
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:
molested as a child
date raped as an adult
my divorces…
learned too much to mention here
caring for my sick mother and watching her die
helping care for my father with alzheimers
caring for my neighbor with cancer
