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

I always believe in God. I started understanding more of the Bible when I met my wife Donna. She help me understand the word of Jesus. I became a Christian in 1992

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

We went to Chuck Swindoll church in Brea, Calif. and went to the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Calif.

I went on a Mission with the Crystal Cathedral to South Africa To Swazi Land to plant Gardens for the people with Aids

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

My Father and Mother treat people the way you want to be treated

My Dad told me that there is only one thing you can loose and only you can loose it, and that is you word

Do not judge people until you know them and walk in their shoes

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:

I work for a company in Oakland Calif. I was promoted from warehouse Foreman to Purchasing I had to hirer some one to replace me. I hire a Black man. the controller said should not hire him because he was Black and let him go. I said that he should fire him and He could replace him and replace me too. I WON

My Father Died at 46yrs old and I was 17yrs. At His rosary I talked to a man that worked for my Dads best friends plumbing shop. He said every time my dad came in the shop he would talk to him.At xmas time my dad gave him the same gift he gave the owner. He was a ditch digger for for the company. I learned that I should treat all the same.
