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

Raised by a mother who suffers with mental illness and drug addiction. I was looking for hope. I was looking for a better way and one day invited to church by a friend I went. It was during church service that I experienced such a peace and overwhelming love from God. I received him as my personal Lord and Savior. After 15 years of serving him I’ve learned life will be life with all of it’s ups and down. But God will surely be God the same today, yesterday, and forevermore. It was the best decision I could have ever made which is to surrender my life to the one who gave me life.

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

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

1. Paticipating in IMPACT Movement in college gave me the courage to share my faith with others.

2. Living with and caring for a mother who has mental illness has impacted my life greatly. It has taught me to be sensitive to those who hurt and find it difficult to overcome.

3. As a teenager I was taken in by a family (foster family). This experience taught me how to love others. I didn’t have anyone who cared about me or loved me. This family truly changed my life and without them I could have fell victim to the streets. But God always has a plan greater than yours.

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:

1. Being raped.

2. Being the oldest child.

3. Being raised by a single mother.
