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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

8 years old at a Youth Church Camp (my cousin was a counselor)
Activity was to write down my sins and throw the paper in the burning fire – I can still feel that feeling – I went to my cousin and told her I needed to be saved – she walked me through accepting Jesus as my savior

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

Friendship Baptist Church Cartersville

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

Working at Egleston and watching Christian parents depend on God – literally for their own breath because their son or daughter had died in operating room or ICU.

Praying with parents and watching them “accept” God’s will for their child

Helping a family at the hospital to start Camp Braveheart in honor of their daughter many years ago – she has since passed away. The Camp is still held every summer and is awesome!

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:

Maybe working at Egleston would be viewed from others as a negative experience as so many of the outcomes were death. But, having a child tell you their is someone at the foot of their bed dressed in white – and I couldn’t see them – but that child could see them; ; then within a few hours they closed their eyes and went to heaven.

My dad also spend 9 months in and out of hospitals due to a motorcycle accident. My mom, brother, and myself totally relied on GOD and out faith is what got us through his illness and death.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. To work with children who have been rescued from sex trafficking – educate children on ways to be a safe as possible
