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 was raised in a church going Baptist family. I accepted the lord at age 10. I have always loved church. I have had ups and downs in my life but have always turned to god.

First Baptist Tullahoma… taught Sunday School age 2nd grade. 10 yrs attended

Grace Baptist… Helped with a divorced womens class..

Attended church in texas before moving to tenn in 2000

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

I have became a mother of two girls and a step daughter and son.. then became a grammy of two.

I met my husband of 17 yrs. He became a wonderful husband and father to my girls. A good Christian man.

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 am divorced from a non Christian man. I married him thinking I could turn him into a Christ follower and was unable to change him. Our marriage did not work.
