#1 Gift, Serving (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have been served many times throughout my life (Only 20ishy years so far, but that has been long enough). Finally, I decided that enough is enough and tried to give back.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (43%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I honestly don’t see my self as encouraging, but I do try to help my friends get through their hard times. It especially is hard to be encouraging when I’m upset myself, but I still try to be someone others can lean on.

#3 Gift, Giving (43%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I think this would be more like giving my time or other immaterial things rather than material things, and these are usually given to those who I consider my friends.

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

Well, I actually grew up as one.

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

Gracepoint Community Church, Lewis Center, Ohio, Usher, probably about 10 years

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

My Aspergers’. It’s not really an experience, but it’s a different point of view. And it isn’t always a ‘positive’ thing.

Honestly, meeting Rebekah back in seventh grade and being friends with her in middle school and early in high school was positive.

My dad was, during when I was 12 or 13, and for about a year, working overtime everyday. It, again, wasn’t truely considered ‘positive’, but it did help shape who I am.

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:

Ralph having terminal brain cancer. He was Andrew’s dad, and he wasn’t even a teenager when he died.

This isn’t really negative, but because of the jobs I have had, I find that I am more compassionate to others in those occupations

Well, like I said above, my dad was working overtime daily for a year or so when I was younger, so it sort of helped me relate with Andrew.

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. Cure Rebekah’s dad of cancer.

4. Be a better person (More relating to my Aspergers, like the social anxiety part) both for myself and for others

5. Write books that others would enjoy reading and I would enjoy writing
