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 have identified as a Christian all my life. During the teenage years I fell away, never rejecting, but failing to live as God intended us. I came back to God about 14 years ago. I have been continually struggling to live as God intends, but now I am actively engaged in trying.

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

None.

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

Friendship with the right people. When I became friends with people that were striving to live their lives in accordance to God’s will it made a huge impact on me. It’s not that they led trouble free lives, it was that they led happy lives. That is what brought me back.

When I was 21 I was living my life without regard to my health and safety or others. One of the things that I did frequently was drink. I was on the cusp of becoming a full fledged alcoholic. I was drinking at least a case of beer a night. One night I was arrested for OWI. That was the night that I gave up alcohol.

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:

Growing up in an alcoholic home. My father was an over the road truck driver that would stop at the bar before coming home.

My mother was diagnosed with MS when I was 12 years old. By the time I was 14 I was her primary care giver. My teenage years essentially became a time of caring for my mother and my siblings while my father was out over the road.

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. I would become a foster parent. I want to be able to bring the love of God to children that are stuck in the system. I want to show them that even when it seems that they are not loved, that they are.

4. I would like to work closer to home so that I can have more time for my family.
