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

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

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

Lived all my growing up years in church. Sunday morning, Sunday night, Tuesday night visitation, Wednesday Night and anything youth on the weekends. Accepted Christ in fifth grade, Laguna Park Baptist Church, moved to Burleson and was baptized at First Baptist Church. Married early at 18, and divorced by age 23, with a 2 year old son. For the next 27 years of my life I was mainly out of church. Thank God for His Grace and Mercy in those crazy years. Married again at 24, this was an abusive marriage. Divorced for the second time in 2000 at age 38 now I have 2 sons, Toby 16 and Preston 10. From 2000 to 2011 my life was completely out of control. I was living the life of a godless single woman. I had to prove I was worthy of love. Which means I dated a lot of men. Even ended up using drugs (meth). I believe to this day it is by the Grace of God I didn’t become addicted. I could have lost everything. My kids, home, freedom. There were times I thought of suicide. In the spring of 2011 I met Kenny. I wasn’t gonna like or even fall in love with him. He was just gonna be my running around buddy, because I saw he went out a lot, he was gonna be my ride. Let’s just say things don’t always go as planned. We were married February 22, 2012.

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:

Even though I spent many years living away from Christ. I know that His love never left me. It was me who left Him. I am so grateful for that.

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:

I try to not judge people. I lived two separate lives. I was a drug user and even my own family never knew. And who would have ever believed Sweet Rhonda was such a person. Like I said I could have lost my kids, my home, everything.

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. If I had no Road Blocks, I would want to help the homeless in downtown Fort Worth. I would provide for the people physical (food) and emotional (getting to know them on a personal level as human beings. j). I would love to wash, brush and fix the women’s hair paint their finger nails. Make them feel loved and beautiful.

4. Make sure the less fortunate children in school had their lunches paid for and all the school supplies they needed. So they didnt feel different from the others.
