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

I was raised in a Christian home. Strayed away at times in my life. God has always sought me out and brought me back to be his child. I am His and praise him!

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

Trinity Presbyterian Church in McDonald, PA during the 1990’s

Gideons International since 2011

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

God rescued me from alcoholism and saved me from the torture of recovery. I was healed at once.

God has preserved my health through the last nine years. Three surgeries and then chemotherapy for six months. He has continued my life.

When I joined the choir in 2005. Jim Cole encouraged me when I doubted my ability and he is the reason I stayed with it.

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:

Alcoholism

Losing loved ones to addiction

Some experiences while in the military were negative, however the experience of serving has had a very positive impact.
