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 was 20 and wanted my 2 year old son to be in a church so started attending and quickly accepted Christ.

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

Cordova Neighborhood Church, Rancho Cordova, CA, Children’s Ministry Director and Assistant to the Youth Pastor 1995(?)-2000

Lompoc Foursquare Church, Lompoc, CA, Small In-Home Group Leader with my husband, 2003-2005

Lompoc Foursquare Church, Lompoc, CA, Mentor Mom, 2004

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

Being a Children’s Ministry Director helped me to learn what it was to serve God.

I attended a 12-Step program back in 1994(?) to work on my enabling and depression. This was the first step to a healthy lifestyle.

A pastor during our 8 years in Texas that taught mild prosperity doctrine but heavy on “words as seeds”. He helped me with my words.

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:

I was physically abused as a child by my father and also was witness to my two sisters physical abuse as well.

My first husband mentally and verbally abused me. He constantly told me something was wrong with me and I needed to change to fit into his plans.

I suffered depression during my first marriage.
