[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I like to learn and experience new things. New experiences are exciting. Scary? Sure, but exciting nonetheless.

2. Music makes me feel good. If I’m not actively listening to music, there’s a song in my head.

3. I like to do things with my hands. It could be cleaning, cooking, reading, or even helping dad with building various projects. Just not ironing. I hate ironing.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

Ages 3-25 are what I’m usually grouped with. I don’t personally have a preference.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

Why would I be excited about an issue? The word “issue” has a negative connotation to me. To answer the question though, don’t really know what concerns me or excites me most,

*Mark the Top 3 from the list, that Trigger a Passion in You

….high school student. I don’t feel an aptitude to any particular career at the moment.

McDonald’s?

Special talents/skills that I have:

Sleeping at unusual times.
In all honesty, I don’t know. I can write, but not very well. I can sing, but also not very well. All of my “talents” are only half-talents honestly.

I have taught a class or seminar on:

I wrote an essay about “Blue Live Matters” once and ended up having to give it as a speech in front of about a hundred people once. There were some facts in there. That’s a lesson, right?

No clue.

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

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

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

Just sort of happened one day. I asked Hannah if she’d hang out after school and tada!

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

nope

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

Schooling at Livingstone

That’s all I can think of.

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:

When my parents had to sell our beds because we couldn’t afford them. It made me feel grateful for what I have in life and made me open my eyes to those who are going through difficult times in their lives.

When my parents split because they were going through hard times. (same time as the beds being sold) I felt so lost and confused. Now I feel compassion for children that are dealing with broken families or children dealing with a life in a home where there seems to always be some argument or fight going on.

Depression. Years of battles raging withing my mind.

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. Giving to charities constantly.

4. I would go to college and earn multiple degrees.

5. Probably sing or write. Maybe both.
