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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Had attended Vacation Bible Camps as a child and learned about the gospel through those camps. Went on to attend a youth group with a family member and became saved at the age of 17 after realizing that I did not have a personal relationship with Jesus and needed Him as my personal Lord and Saviour.

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

Southside – Nursery / Prepared Communion for the Congregation / Served on Board to get Daycare operational (5 years??)

DCC – Sunday School / Care Meals / WM / Devon Days / Pastoral Selection Committee / Small Group Host (off and on for 20 years??)

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

Parenting — Raising children to have integrity and good character in a world where both are lacking has always made me question my own decisions, thoughts, and how I live my life (actions) so that I can be a good example to my children.

Mingling with the elderly on a regular basis has given me great compassion for those that are less fortunate and lonely.

Learning a long time ago that God hears every prayer

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:

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. Not sure — clearly, I need to put some thought into it
