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

Before I had come to know Christ I was clueless and I thought I had known everything there is to know about Christ and salvation because I had been raised in the church. Little did I know I hadn’t learned much. I had always thought if I was a “good Christian” and if I made good choices then if and when I’d die that I’d go to heaven. But out of all of my struggles that I’ve endure and experienced, I have come to find out I am nothing without them (my struggles). The pain and suffering I feel and experience keeps me close to God. It allows to me realize that it is real and that I get to know how God feels and just how Christ has suffered. Thus, I am able to feel His love and I am able to have sympathy for people who experience some of the things that a relatively similar to my struggles/ailments that I’ve been working through.

Glorieta Baptist Church. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Member since 1999. I’ve gone on Mission trips/attending classes, services, and events/ helping out in activities/ helping during holidays there ever since I was born.

Recently I was able to help out with the Christmas play but helping put together a short film by exercising my skills that I have acquired in film school.

I have been an attentive member of the church considering that now I am open to looking at different churches that have and show the love of Christ Jesus and who He is through people.

Seeing and rededicating my life to Christ Jesus this past year by truly experiencing God.

Overcoming and recessing the legal damage that I have caused due to underlying health issues.

Being “cleaned” out by God/ losing people/letting go of past experiences and seeing just who He truly is and how much He loves me.

Working towards overcoming/ accepting that I have an Eating Disorder/ still working through it.

Being diagnosed with Cutaneous Lupus. This ailment does not define me but gives me the opportunity to remain strong enough to still keep moving forward.

Losing people along the way that I thought were friends/people I could rely on and look up to. God has allowed me to see who these people are and has also allowed me to see just who I am through Him.

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. My issues I have with the lack of a mother growing up lead me to falling into depression and soon an eating disorder that I’m just now being able to work through. Without my eating disorder I would be still be just as so lost and clueless.
