Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Being different from those around me made me search for something more like me and I found that in my uncle who was a preacher that came to stay with us for a brief time and left his Bible and podium for me and I was in love with God!!

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

I serve in places where people don’t know God mostly and in that believers are naturally drawn to me and grow along side me.

I’ve done women Bible studies from home

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

Watching my uncle for the little time that he lived in VA with us was the most impacting visually

Being homeless as a child and hearing God’s voice telling me of things to come and truths of life and then having them all confirmed through his word and through fruition!!!

Knowing a love that I’ve never seen in my life and the escape of generational curses by grace!!!

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:

Homelessness

Being abandoned by my mother as a child

The growth pains of an early marriage
