This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God has given me so much, and has done so much for me. I love to be His hands and feet to do His work. I’m much more of a supporter than a leader, and I love taking care of details so that good leaders can get on with leading.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God has given me so much, and EVERYTHING I have is His. He blessed me with it. I want to freely give back to Him.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love learning and passing on what I’ve learned so that another can have the benefit of knowing something too. I love seeing a student understand math and not be afraid of it. I love discussing God with other believers because it helps me know Him better– I learn from them, and they can sometimes learn from me. I think what I love about learning is the process of sharing knowledge.

[H]eart

1. I love being out in nature– enjoying God’s glorious natural world.

2. I love having good, close loving relationship with those close to me.

3. I love creating beautiful things.

I love working with young people. I love working with anybody who is open and honest and enthusiastic, and who cares about what they do and doing it well.

Working with young, single mothers. Seeing the church stand up for what’s right, with much love and compassion and without pride. Giving to ministries that are doing much to relieve the suffering of those who are often overlooked. Possibly prison ministry. Any ministry that helps young women know that they’re precious to God, and dearly loved, and full of gifts to give to this world.

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

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

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. Using my God-give artistic talent to create beautiful and inspiring things.

4. To marry again. To marry a decent, kind, honest, compassionate man who loves God with all of his heart and serves God effectively– to be his helpmate.

5. To love my family and friends dearly– to leave a legacy of love.
