Routine

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

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

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

I became a Christian at the tender age of 4. I told my mom I wanted to ask Jesus into my heart and she led me in the sinners prayer in my bedroom. I remember it vividly to this day.

My first missions trip when I was 15 years old is what I attribute to having had the second greatest impact on my life. I was so shy and it challenged me to step so far out of my comfort zone that it changed me for the rest of my life.

My marriage to my husband. Although we have been married less than 9 years, it has birthed a desire within me to share with others how to have a blessed, Godly, and lasting marriage.

Taking music lessons as a child. I was taught how to use my talent to glorify the Lord, and it completely shaped how I view music. I went on to begin playing on our church praise and worship team at the age of 12 and learned how to flow in the Holy Ghost and how to truly and deeply worship.

I went through a very devastating situation in the church I spent most of my life. I lost relationships with most of my closest childhood friends. It was heartbreaking and life changing, but has made me a stronger person who values true, Godly relationships.

I went though many years as a young, single woman dealing with issues of value and lack of self worth. I have great compassion for ladies dealing with these problems & love to see them restored to who God says they are.
