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 was raised in a Christian home & when I was about 11, I decided that I wanted to become a christian.

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

JBC. Helping Hands & Neighborhood Caring ministry
SS. teacher, nursery, janitorial, etc…

Wildwood-songleader, helper with lots of things.

Western Mennonite- helper

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

1.My christian upbringing & my Dad’s story telling. I love telling stories!

2.JBC & the faith/growing /stretching me

3. Finding John Maxwell materials & reading tons of self help!

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:

being raised in a home that kept foster kids…some with real challenges.

having financial challenges ourselves-Stan losing his job once & having public assistance.

being put down by others with comments about my big family-or things about me & having no college education.
