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

Oh my life I’ve always felt as though there’s something that is guiding and protecting me. Be it a spiritual high power or ancestors and even angels. But when I am focused and intentional devoted in prayer and plan I see things change. Those changes only occurred when I devoted myself wholeheartedly.

I came to know Christ because I was baptized in this faith as a young child. However as a grown adult and even a preteen I had physical presence and service in the church unknowingly. The church by gods grace was always a safe haven and a place that I can grow spiritually.

Virtuous women’s ministry Bayside New York

Wrapping It Up
