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

When I was in limbo I prayed numerous times for God to reveal the truth to me on what to believe and the path to get to heaven. My prayers were open to whatever the truth is and nothing specific based on what I wanted to believe. Each time within a few days I’d meet a Christian sharing their testimony with me and had someone recommend a Christian movie to watch which had touched me. The things I’ve prayed for to give me direction have been provided and led me to the only church where I have ever felt comfortable, actually learned a lot of what I couldn’t understand and felt inspired to truly grow and apply the word of God throughout my daily walk.
