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 accepted Jesus into my heart at five years old. During my teen years I truly started understanding everything for myself and I had a personal relationship with Jesus. Through church camp I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and called to missions. God confirmed that on my two trips to El Salvador, so I am living out that calling!

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

I have served some in my church, but no official position
Delta Assembly of God in Delta, Ohio

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

Church camp

Two mission trips to El Salvador

Being a leader for FCA at my school

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:

Public Schooling

Attending a church with few youth and not great discipleship

Times of great stress where I was spiritually low, but led me to seek God
