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 became a christian during bible school when I was eight years old at Evanston Ave Baptist Church. They were playing Just As I Am and I went forward.

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

I can sew. I sewed for 1st Assembly of God in Wyoming on 44th St.

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

God healed my shoulder.

God gave me George forty years ago June 2/1978.

No matter how far I ran from God at different times throughout my life whenever I would turn Jesus was right there! He never got sick of me, or tired or done.

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 an unwed mother in 1972.

I wanted to be baptized when I was 13. Rev. Roy Williamson said I was too young. Within 6 weeks he baptized my cousin who was 4 days older than me. Broke my heart. I was going to be a missionary, but changed my mind after that.

I wrote poetry for the Lamp LIght 1st Assembly’s News Magazine. The editor told me he believed the words of the poems were the words of God. As time went on the editor started changing some of the words making them more politically correct. This really bothered me.
