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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was 10 years old and sitting in church with my family. There was an alter-call and I battled whether or not I should go. God prompted me, then I asked my mother, and she said: “sure, of course”. I leaped out of my chair and cried the whole way to the alter. I knew a battle was won, and angels were rejoicing over me.

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

JHDC, Silver Spring, MD, Head of Department for Expressions Dance, 10 years.

JHDC, Silver Spring, MD, member of The King’s Table Ministry Outreach and Evangelism, 10 years.

JHDC, Silver Spring, MD, member of the Teenage Church, 5 years.

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

Going to live in Italy for 3 months. God showed me that He cares about the absolute minimal things. He listens and is very detailed/strategic

Getting hired for a position that I did not apply for, but is tailor-made for me.

Going to the airport and not having money or a plane ticket, but God supplying me with a way, because I showed Faith in Him

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:

Not being able to pay my rent. Understanding that struggles come but perseverance will equip you through it

Losing friends that did not want the Best for me. Realizing that not everyone you know will be for you and your destiny. Also understanding there are 3 key things needed in true Friendship:
1. Wanting the best for your friend.
2. Giving them the benefit of the doubt.
3. Telling them the truth in love.

Being humbled. Knowing that nothing belongs to me. Everything I have and will every possess is not my property but gifts given to be taken at any moment.

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. Traveling the world, speaking about my experiences. I realize that testimonies are the BEST way to minister to people. Most tend to relate and draw inspiration from such accounts.

4. I would write books about the things God has revealed to me.

5. Solve problems that people have concerning inner peace, joy, and fulfillment
