Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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 was baptized at a never early age my Grandparents were both Ministers. I spent so much time in church that as a young adult on may own I did not attend church on a regular basis. In my mind I really became a Christian in 1995 while going through a divorce. DNA testing determined my two oldest daughters 3 & 1 at the time were not mine and I had enough strength and faith to call on Jesus because my flesh had every intention on killing my ex-wife. I survived that season in my life we divorced but I never turned my back on the girls now young women Mikayla & Sapphira are very much a part of my life they have always called Daddy. So now Pastor when I say I am walking my daughter down the aisle you have the story.

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

Security Ministry – The Soul Factory – Forestville, MD 2006-2009

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

Joining the military at a young age I was able to see how other people around the country and world lived made me really gain a deeper appreciation for life.

The birth of my daughters Mikayla, Sapphira, and Tatum

I was a terrible high school student barely graduated but after the military I stepped out on faith and went to College and there I found this beautiful women that would become my wife Tamika.

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 was not always reserved but having a gun pointed in my face and the guy deciding to hit me instead of pulling the strigger changes things. The guy currently on Death Row for other crimes over the years.

Divorce

Death of my Father
