Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I had always christian people around me and I was invited many times to church but I was never committed to a relationship with God . I was looking for satisfaction in worldly things and suffering depression. My best friend pass away at a early age after a horrible cancer. That made me look for answers so I joined a bible study and praying group. God gave me peace, restored me and healed me. I found my identity in Christ.

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:

My uncle who used to take me to church when I was little and put a seed in my heart.

The fact that my parents were always committed to raise me and my brother and to gave us attention and time. I will always be grateful for the parents God gave me.

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:

Having health problems for years and seeing how healthy and strong I am now increased my faith in that everything is possible in God and that Jesus died for us.

Before Jesus I tried to find satisfaction in several boyfriends and I tried to hide my depression with alcohol and parties. I was looking for the perfect love that only God can give. Jesus made me feel accepted, loved and forgiven.
