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 grew up in the Church and have always had a desire to serve the Lord. At age 11, I gave my life to Lord as the Holy Spirit led me to repentance. At age 13 I was baptized with my parents who gave their hearts to Lord at that time. Despite my many failures, the hands of the Lord have kept me and daily works on the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4) to serve Him faithfully.

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

Miracle Tabernacle New Testament Church of God
Choir Leader, Praise and Worship Leader, Sunday School Teacher (Young Adults), Public Relations Officer, Secretary

TLC
Sunday School Teacher (Tweens and Kidz)
