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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Was going through a very difficult time in my life, marriage, raising children.

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

Deacon
Christ Tabernacle Church – member 25 years plus.

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

Finding a great church with pastors who oversaw and guided me and my family to wholeness and maturity. Christ Tabernacle.

Deliverance of my family from the bondage of drug addiction. Husband was addicted to crack, which brought our family to our knees and to the throne of grace.

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:

Going through 16 years of marriage with a husband who was addicted to drugs.

Watching my father die from prostate cancer.

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
